Hot off the press, Capcom USA just announced that a brand new, animated Mega Man series would launch in North America in 2017. This timing coincides with the 30th anniversary of the franchise. The new project will be managed by Dentsu Entertainment USA, who also obtained the worldwide rights for the this new Mega Man franchise on television. Production itself will be done by Man of Action Entertainment, the studio responsible for the Ben 10 and Generator Rex series.

There are few details available at this point, which isn't too surprising considering that this project's release is still two years away. Any tie-ins, whether merchandise or games, would be announced at a later time.
