Mega Man Series Producer Says Capcom Would Love To Revisit Mega Man X
Mega Man series producer Shingo Izumi has said Capcom would be keen to revisit the Mega Man X series, in response to a question from Game Informer about the franchise's future. Speaking while promoting the upcoming Mega Man Override, Izumi described X as an "important series" within the Mega Man brand that the team would love to explore again if the opportunity arose. The comments will fuel long-standing fan hopes for a new entry in the beloved sub-series, though Izumi stopped short of confirming any concrete plans.
For now, Capcom's focus remains on Mega Man Override, due for Switch and Switch 2 in 2027, alongside celebrations planned for the Blue Bomber's 40th anniversary next year, including crossovers such as a Mega Man skin in Pragmata. Fans wanting an X fix in the meantime can revisit the series via Capcom's existing Mega Man X Legacy Collections on Switch. No new X title has been announced, and the remarks reflect general openness from Capcom rather than a firm commitment.

Mega Man is a long-running Capcom game series starring a blue robot hero, known to fans as the Blue Bomber. Mega Man X is a related series set in the future, with a more advanced hero called X and a story about humans and robots living alongside one another.
Capcom makes and publishes both series, and Shingo Izumi is a producer involved in its Mega Man games. Mega Man X has had several games, but there has not been a new main entry for many years, so fans are interested in whether the series will return.
Capcom’s current plans include Mega Man Override, due in 2027, and events marking Mega Man’s 40th anniversary. Its existing X games can be played in Legacy Collections, but there is no confirmed new X game.
