Capcom recently hosted its 46th Ordinary General Meeting of Shareholders, and the Q&A session was chronicled.
One set of questions regarded Mega Man, which, besides ports and collections, has not seen any real new action in the form of new games for quite some time, with Mega Man 11 from 2018 being the last major release.
One shareholder inquired about plans for the Mega Man series, to which Capcom responded that they are considering ways to develop the IP further, as it’s one of their most important franchises. However, no additional information can be shared.
This reply is not dissimilar from a comment made in 2023, where Capcom stated that they were “considering how to approach the production of new entries in the series.”
Capcom also confirmed that merchandise sales are highly sought after in overseas markets, with plans to grow this facet further.
Q. Please tell me about your plans for the Mega Man series.
A. The Mega Man series is one of our most important IPs, and we are continuously
considering ways to develop it further. However, we do not have any additional
information we can share at this time.Q. What are your expectations regarding revenue contributions of merchandise sales
from the Mega Man series?A. While we do not disclose individual sales figures by IP, we receive a particularly high
volume of inquiries about the Mega Man series from overseas markets. We will
continue to focus on expanding this business further.
