The developer is fueling speculation with the release of a mysterious new Mega Man design.
Via X – formerly Twitter – Arika Vice President Ichiro Mihara published a mysterious image of Mega Man. This was in response to a news story about Mega Man published by mangaka Hitoshi Ariga.
Ariga wrote that he once drew Rockman manga and created encyclopedias and books with the official Capcom artwork and therefore knew a little about Rockman.
To explain: In Japan, Mega Man goes by the name Rockman.
Mihara responded to the said post with a self-censored post and wrote:
“I once created Rockman's ***, *** and **** officially***, so I know a little bit about Rockman.”
This statement was accompanied by a close-up of the Mega Man helmet, which raised questions for fans. The design of the helmet ended up being a massive departure from the well-known design – unfortunately the post has since been deleted, which is why you can't get a picture of it yourself unless you've seen this post before.
Since there has been repeated talk of new Mega Man concepts recently, many fans assume that this post was a reference to a new game. However, nothing has been officially confirmed.
