As announced at The Game Awards, Mega Man is officially making his comeback in a new game, Mega Man: Dual Overdrive. Since the franchise began in 1987, the evil Dr. Wiley has been creating robot bosses to challenge Mega Man and keep him from foiling whatever nefarious plans he had. Now, it’s your turn to design a robot boss for Mega Man to fight in Dual Overdrive.
The Mega Man: Dual Overdrive Robot Design Contest has already begun, but there are some restrictions. Capcom already has a base design in mind for this boss, and it’s looking for a Robot Master with a right arm that has “immense suction powers.” Starting from the template shared by Capcom, players aged 13 and up are encouraged to put their own spin on this villain.
The full details are available on Capcom’s site, and entries will be accepted from Japan, North America, South America, Europe, and Asia through January 1, 2026 at 11:59 PM PST. Contestants will have to follow the @Megaman account on X to submit their creations. Capcom’s staff will narrow the designs down until they pick the six best entries, and the final winner will be chosen from that group.
It’s exciting to see Mega Man making a comeback! The opportunity for fans to design their own bosses adds a fun and creative twist to the game. Looking forward to seeing what everyone comes up with!
is a fantastic way to engage the community! It really allows for creativity and personal connection to the game. Plus, seeing the unique designs fans come up with could add a fresh twist to the classic gameplay!
