Mega Man 11 gets demo and announces new Robot Master

Everyone looking forward Mega Man 11 can test their mettle ahead of the game’s October 2nd release. Take on the formidable, and rather smug, Block Man in the new demo, available now on Nintendo Switch, PS4, and Xbox One.

In the demo, which is the same one we played at E3 over the summer, players can choose from multiple difficulty levels before stepping into the boots of Mega Man himself with robot dog Rush by his side.

In a hand-drawn, technically advanced pyramid environment, players are encouraged to use various tools including the new Double Gear system and various boss weapons to bust Block Man and absorb his powers.

Fans who take on Block Man in the free Mega Man 11 demo will contribute to the “Bust Block Man” community challenge for a chance to receive a set of single-use items that can be redeemed in the retail version of the game.

Fans who defeat Block Man can display their victory using the #BustBlockMan hashtag on social media and then stay tuned to official Mega Man social channels to check out the progress as the community works together to chip away at Block Man!

To celebrate the announcement of the downloadable demo, Capcom has also revealed a new Robot Master named Bounce Man and his stage, the vibrant Boing-Boing Park.

Mega Man 11 releases across North America on October 2nd both digitally and at retail for Nintendo Switch, PS4, and Xbox One, and digitally on all platforms and Windows PC.
