Capcom announced the first “three-generation” Mega Man for PS4, PS5, and PS6?

In the wake of The Game Awards 2025, the gaming community is buzzing over Capcom’s strategic roadmap. *Mega Man: Dual Override* is slated for a 2027 release, aligning perfectly with the anticipated launch of the PlayStation 6. There is a high probability that the title will debut as a flagship release for the new console, remarkably spanning three generations of hardware.

Perhaps the most startling revelation was the official confirmation of a PlayStation 4 version alongside the PS5 release. By the time it arrives in 2027, the PS4 will have been in service for 14 years. Capcom’s decision underscores an unprecedented commitment to supporting legacy hardware and its massive install base.

Industry analysts suggest this move is driven by the skyrocketing costs of modern game development. While only the PS4 and PS5 iterations are currently set in stone, the game’s arrival within the PS6 launch window makes a dedicated version for the upcoming console almost a certainty.

Online forums are currently debating whether other major 2027 titles—including *Exodus*, *Intergalactic*, and *Tomb Raider Catalyst*—will receive specialized PlayStation 6 enhancements. Meanwhile, it is already confirmed that *Star Wars: Fate of the Old Republic* and Hideo Kojima’s *Psyhint* are being developed with the PS6 in mind.
