Capcom wasn't done after announcing Pragmata tonight: the company has also announced their plans for one of their great mascot's 40th anniversary. A brief trailer has been released for Mega Man: Dual Overdrive which will release in 2027 - 40 years after the original NES adventures of the Blue Bomber - on both Switch 2 and the Switch.

Also revealed tonight:

• A new co-op game published by Kepler Interactive (Clair Obscur: Expedition 33) was shown called Orbtials. The very anime-styled action game will be a Switch 2 exclusive in 2026.
• Complusion Games and Microsoft Game Studios announced a Switch 2 release for their 2025 action game South of Midnight in the spring of 2026.
• Co-op horror game Phasmophobia, previously released on PS5 and in Early Access on PC, will come to Switch 2 around the time it goes 1.0 on PC next year.
• Another co-op platformer called Out of Words was also confirmed for a Switch 2 release next year.

I'm rather delighted that a Switch 1 game has been announced for 2027.  That's a way's off so who knows if they'll bother with it by the time we get there but for now it's cool.  I hope the Switch 1 still gets releases at least up to its tenth birthday.

Certainly the highlight of the show for me. When I heard that orchestra music I knew what was coming. As a huge fan of MM 11 I was also happy to see it looking similar in style. All we need is one more legacy collection to hold us over until then.
