Two recent product announcements show the Mega Man series continuing to generate merchandise for collectors. Bandai opened preorders for the Acrylic Logo Display Sounds Rockman, a set of acrylic logo displays that play the title BGM from each of the first 11 Rockman games. Each unit is priced at 3,850 yen, with preorders open until September 27. The product targets fans of the classic Rockman series, offering a physical collectible that pairs nostalgic game logos with their original soundtracks.
Separately, AmiAmi's May 2026 figure pre-order ranking placed X-Plus's Roll figure from Rockman in the top five. The ranking, which tracks collector demand across multiple franchises, also included figures from Lian Lian, KOF98, and To Love-Ru.

The presentation confirmed that Blues is playable alongside Rockman, with each character offering a distinct combat style. Rockman relies on his buster, while Blues excels at close-range combat using his shield. The game also introduces Custom Chips that grant access to various abilities, and an Override form designed to counter more powerful bosses. Rockman: Dual Override is scheduled for release in spring 2027. Capcom also announced that amiibo figures of Rockman and Blues will launch simultaneously with the game. The footage aired as part of the ongoing Nintendo Direct presentation, and the announcement was covered by multiple Japanese gaming outlets.

During the State of Play broadcast on September 3, 2026, Sony Interactive Entertainment announced three titles for the PlayStation Plus Classics Catalog, a service for Premium plan members. Mega Man X: Command Mission arrives in September, while Dino Crisis 2 and the original Ratchet & Clank are scheduled to join within 2026. The Classics Catalog lineup for the second half of 2026 was the focus of the announcement. The additions were revealed alongside other news from the stream, which included Mycopunk, a four-player cooperative FPS set to hit the Game Catalog at launch. The three Classics titles span different eras and genres, from the turn-based RPG spin-off of Mega Man X to the survival horror sequel and the platforming series debut. Sony did not provide specific release dates for the two later arrivals, only the window of later this year. The announcements were part of a broader State of Play presentation that covered multiple upcoming PlayStation offerings.

Capcom showed new gameplay for Mega Man: Dual Override during gamescom Opening Night Live 2026 on August 25. The trailer introduces Twinkle Girl, a Robot Master numbered DWN-089 (Dr. Wily Number), and confirms Protoman as a returning character. The video also previews collaboration skins themed after Mega Man and Roll for Hugh and Diana in Capcom's Pragmata, with those skins scheduled for release in 2026. The game itself is set to launch in 2027 across PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam. The announcement comes amid ongoing labor tensions: SAG-AFTRA issued an order in March directing members to withhold services from the game after the producer "failed to initiate the signatory process," and voice actor Ben Diskin said on Bluesky he would no longer voice Mega Man because he was asked to work "only on the condition I work without the protections of a union contract." The game was first announced at The Game Awards last year as the series' first new title in nine years.
