Capcom to debut Mega Man Dual Override at Gamescom 2026

Capcom will showcase four upcoming titles at Gamescom 2026, including the first public hands-on opportunity for the newly announced Mega Man Dual Override. The publisher confirmed its lineup for the annual trade fair, which will be held from Wednesday, August 26, to Sunday, August 30, at the Koelnmesse convention center in Cologne, Germany.

Attendees will be able to play demos of Onimusha: Way of the Sword, Dragon's Dogma 2: Dark Arisen, Mega Man Dual Override, and Street Fighter 6 across approximately 60 demo stations in Hall 9, Booth A070. The appearance marks a significant return for Capcom to one of the industry's largest events, joining other confirmed exhibitors such as Nintendo, Ubisoft, and Xbox.

Mega Man Dual Override, announced at The Game Awards in 2025, is scheduled for release in 2027. Gamescom will be the first time the public can play this new entry in the long-running action-platformer series. Dragon's Dogma 2: Dark Arisen, an expansion that adds a new story developed based on player feedback, was announced recently. A bundled version of the main game and expansion is slated for release on the Nintendo Switch 2 on October 9, 2026.
