Proto Man steps forward in Mega Man: Dual Override

Mega Man: Dual Override will feature Proto Man as a second playable character. Capcom’s official breakdown contrasts his close-range fighting with Mega Man’s longer-range approach, giving the two characters different strengths and progression systems.

The Proto Buster sacrifices range for power, encouraging players to move into danger and attack precisely. The reveal arrives ahead of the series’ 40th anniversary in 2027. It also marks another playable appearance for a character whose history with Mega Man stretches back to his debut in Mega Man 3.
