Capcom May Have Postponed A Significant Mega Man Battle Network Announcement

The Mega Man Battle Network series celebrated its 20th-anniversary last week and while there was apparently a slew of not-so-new announcements, there was seemingly meant to be something shared with the fanbase that appears to have been postponed due to the pandemic.

This information comes from the official Japanese Mega Man Unity blog, via a translation from the long-running fansite the Rockman Corner. Here’s precisely what Capcom’s Ucchy-san had to say:

“If the world hadn’t been in this situation, if the world hadn’t been in such a state, I might have had other plans to announce. But for now, I think it’s time to be patient.

“Of course, washing hands, gargling and social distancing are important, too. It’s always Rockman who beats the virus after all!”

So it seems Capcom might have something planned for the Rockman.EXE series (as it’s known in Japan), but right now is asking fans to be patient while the development team and industry as a whole deal with these added difficulties.

While the Rockman Corner doesn’t think anything has been cancelled, the same source suspects we’ll be waiting some time before anything is properly announced. In other words, relax.

“So if you (like many of us) are holding out for some hypothetical Legacy Collection news, you can breathe.”
