Mega Man 11^[a] is an upcoming action-platform video game developed by Capcom, and is the eleventh main entry in the original Mega Man series. It brings back several features such as voice acting and a 2.5D graphic style from previous games throughout the Mega Man franchise. It will be released worldwide for Microsoft Windows, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One on October 2, 2018.

Gameplay

Mega Man 11 retains the gameplay style of the classic Mega Man series of games, featuring a 2.5D graphics style with 3D polygonal characters and environments. Players control Mega Man as he attempts to stop Dr. Wily from using a Double Gear system he invented baaed on reasearch he conducted years before. Players travel through linear stages before battling against one of Doctor Wily's eight Robot Masters, including Fuse Man and Block Man. Mega Man can perform classic moves such as the chargeable Mega Buster and slide, as well as obtain new weapons by defeating Robot Master bosses at the end of each level. Unique to this game is the Double Gear system, which grants Mega Man two additional abilities; the Speed Gear and Power Gear. The Speed Gear lets Mega Man slow down time, allowing him to dodge attacks, while the Power Gear increases the attack power of Mega Man's weaponry; both of these will overheat if Mega Man uses them too much. When Mega Man's health is critically low, he can activate both gears to perform a powerful charge shot which can only be used once and leaves Mega Man weakened afterwards.^[1]

The game was announced in December 2017 as part of the celebration of the series' 30th anniversary, along with the announcements of re-releases of earlier Mega Man games.
