A big surprise revealed during the 30-year anniversary of the Mega Man series is that there will be a new main entry to the franchise. Mega Man 11 gameplay was shown and will be coming to players in 2018.

In this new entry, Mega Man's armor and weapon will both change depending on the type of power that he's using at the time. Some older concept art for the series has come back to life in Mega Man 11 as well. More information on the game will be coming in summer 2018 with a targeted release for late 2018.

This announcement came hot on the heels of the news that all of the Mega Man X games will be coming to Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, PS4, and PC.

      Is it 8-bit like 9 and 10?

        A brand new 2.5D Mega Man game will be coming to PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC next year.

        2.5D generally means that it is a 3D rendered game with 2D gameplay so I'd think not.

              While I am a fan of 2D art, Bloodstained seems fine to me in practice.

              No, it's not jaw dropping the way hollow knight can be, but it works well enough.

              I feel like Bionic Commando Rearmed was one of the few that did 2.5D right.

              I might agree with you on the backgrounds, but the enemies have way more personality than Might No 9. I'm stoked they tried to bring the old aesthetic into 2.5d.

        Of course not. 4 was still a good game, X is, well, fucking X, with the first three being quite good, and the ZX games were also quite solid.

          Yeah, X and X-2 are better games than 1-3, without the nostalgia factor.

        See 3 was good and 4 was pretty good, and 5 and 6 were okay, but 7 sucked big dinosaur balls.

      Fuck yeah, I love all the footage they showed there! Looks like it plays well, the animations and enemy design give a similar vibe to the orignal series, music is interesting, and it looks like it could have some original gameplay in the enemy encounters.

      Unlike Mighty No. 9, where I got a queasy feeling the first time I saw gameplay footage.

      Also, the first few minutes of that video demonstrate whey I stopped trying to collect every Mega Man game about 10 years ago. They just wouldn't let up.
