As Capcom prepares for Mega Man‘s 40th anniversary next year, additional discoveries related to the enduring franchise are emerging online.
As noted by Mega Man enthusiast site Rockman Corner, a production named ‘Mega Man Legends’ has shown up on ACTRA Toronto’s “What’s Shooting” database (a public catalog of productions registered with the Canadian performers’ association) this week.
Filed under “new media,” the production began in September and is expected to conclude by December. Casting appears to be conducted internally, but that’s all the information available about this enigmatic endeavor.
As the source highlights, “new media” may include anything from “video games to television and cinema.” It also indicates that Capcom “might be seeking Canadian voice talent as an alternative to SAG-AFRA Actors” after “Mega Man: Dual Override faced a SAG-AFTRA ‘Do Not Work’ order” earlier this year.
Mega Man Legends was initially released as a 3D video game in 1997 and followed by a sequel in 2000. There was also a prequel spin-off in 1999, along with a cancelled third part for the 3DS.
This recent discovery also follows a rating board classification in Korea at the end of last month, featuring various classic Capcom console titles, including multiple Mega Man entries.
Should we receive any additional information regarding this listing, we will provide an update.
