The new 2.5D platformer will be available for Nintendo Switch, Sony PS4, Xbox One and PC and will be the first game since Mega Man 10 arrived back in 2010.
Capcom said all the characters and environments will be hand-drawn by Yuji Ishihara, and include a new design for Mega Man himself. Director Koji Oda and producer Kazuhiro Tsuchiya, both veterans of the series, are also on board.
