For nylig kunne Capcom langt om længe, efter en pause der nærmest har varet en evighed, løfte sløret for Mega Man 11, en vaskeægte efterfølger der udkommer næste år. Mega Man 10 udkom tilbage i 2010, og i et ganske ærligt interview med Game Informer, fortæller producer Kazuhiro Tsuchiya, at grunden til at der er gået så lang tid, er at Capcom har haft svært ved at fortsætte med Mega Man-serien efter seriens skaber, Keiji Inafune, forlod firmaet.
"To be honest with you, when Inafune left it was a difficult atmosphere within the company. I really want to work on Mega Man.' Inafune-san was definitely a brand leader for the franchise. He helped pave the way for its success, and he had a lot of brilliant ideas. That's an absolute truth. So when he left, there was a sense of emptiness, and a sense that no one was appropriate to pick up the mantle and pave a new vision for Mega Man."
Dog slår han fast, at dette nye kapitel ikke er eksperiment fra Capcoms side, men at de snarere er parat til at genoplive serien for alvor:
"This is definitely not just a trial balloon, we're definitely not experimenting. We don't even have the bandwidth to experiment. This is all about pouring everything we have and everything we know into one project and making it happen. We're using our prior experience and knowledge to strengthen ourselves and reach the next level. From the start of the project I've been saying, 'Mega Man 11 needs to be a true resurrection of the franchise.' I really want this title to be something that veterans can pick up and say, 'Yes, Mega Man is finally back.'"
