Things have not been going well for Capcom as of late. About two weeks ago,Capcom was targeted in a ransomware attack, and ever since the company has struggled to contain the damage as details about possible new projects in popular franchises likeMega Manhave leaked online.
The attack compromised at least a terrabyte of data from servers at Capcom’s headquarters in Japan. This included information about upcoming games as well as personal employee information. Capcom is working with police to try and mitigate the issues and ensure the safety of its employees. While this isn’t great for the developer, it has provided a lot of exciting info for players. This includes a sizable list of potentially upcoming titles, including a newMega Mangame calledRockman Match.

TheMega Mantitle appears as part of a second wave of info released after the ransomware attack, in a spreadsheet posted to Resetera.Capcom provided a statement about the hackthat outlined its steps to deal with the problem, but this new info indicates it isn’t over yet. The project is referred to asRockman Match,RockmanbeingMega Man’s Japanese title, seems to be slated for release in the third quarter of 2022. As of this writing, no further information about the project is available.
A name likeMega Man Matchdoesn’t reveal much about what the title could be, so there is a lot of room for speculation. One option could be a remake or collection of titles. Another part of theleak indicates anAce Attorneycollectionis in development, soMega Mangetting the same treatment would not be surprising.
However, given how many recent re-releases and collections have been made for series likeMega Man X, the most exciting possibility would be some sort of newMega Mangame, perhaps in one of the established series. WithDragon’s Dogma 2 also leakedto be potentially on the horizon, there’s a real possibility thatMega Man Matchcould be a new entry in an existingMega Manseries.
Another possibility is that this could be an entirely new type ofMega Mangame. The “Match” part of the name might suggest a match-three game likeCandy Crush. Part of the Capcom leak also indicates a newOnimushagame is in the works, despite the fact it’s aseries previously thought to be shelved. At this point, anything could be possible, but fans should wait for official confirmation from Capcom before throwing their eggs in theMega Manbasket.
