Unknown ‘Mega Man Legends’ Project Surfaces Online

A production called ‘Mega Man Legends’ has appeared in a public Canadian performers’ union database, prompting speculation about a new project as Capcom approaches the series’ 40th anniversary next year. Its format and purpose are unknown: the listing categorises it as “new media”, which can cover games, television or film.

The ACTRA Toronto listing says production began in September and is due to finish in December, with casting handled in house. One possibility raised is that Capcom may use Canadian voice talent after a SAG-AFTRA “Do Not Work” order involving Mega Man: Dual Override earlier this year. The original Mega Man Legends game came out in 1997, followed by a sequel in 2000 and a 1999 prequel spin-off; a third game for 3DS was cancelled.
