Capcom's Mega Man series is ready for its comeback with the release of the newest installment for the classic series. Coming October 2 to PC, PS4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch, Mega Man 11 brings back the old-school incarnation of the Blue-Bomber as he takes on another set of Robot Masters--all of whom have some new tricks up their sleeves for the leading man to inevitably take for himself. While the fairly recent Mega Man 9 and 10 kept the traditional 8-bit style, 11 shows off brand-new 2.5D visuals that gives a more unique presentation--while still channeling that same retro charm. We recently had the chance to go hands-on, and fans of classic Mega Man will finally have a worthy follow-up for the legendary series after such a long wait.

Mega Man 11 brings back a number of developers and artists who worked on the original games for the series' return, which aims to balance that classic style with some more modern mechanics. Much like its predecessors, Mega Man and his allies Roll, Dr. Light, and Rush do battle with the persistently nefarious Dr. Wily as he plots to take over the world--again. This time around, the Mad Scientist has stolen experimental robot upgrades from the Robot University to power up his cyborg lieutenants, making them more dangerous than past villains. However, Mega Man has got some new skills of his own, boosting his trademark shoot and jump abilities as he takes out each of the Robot Masters one by one.
