Mega Man 11 Game Announced, Coming 2018
A brand new 2.5D Mega Man game will be coming to PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC next year.
A big surprise revealed during the 30-year anniversary of the Mega Man series is that there will be a new main entry to the franchise. Mega Man 11 gameplay was shown and will be coming to players in 2018.
In this new entry, Mega Man's armor and weapon will both change depending on the type of power that he's using at the time. Some older concept art for the series has come back to life in Mega Man 11 as well. More information on the game will be coming in summer 2018 with a targeted release for late 2018.
This announcement came hot on the heels of the news that all of the Mega Man X games will be coming to Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, PS4, and PC.

Is it 8-bit like 9 and 10?

Nope!
Looks a lot like Inafune's Might No. 9 visually, haha https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3aSC5A726f0-
That looks so good.

Something about it really rubs me the wrong way. It's another mish-mashy looking style rather than appearing cohesive the way the 2D games do. Like you got mobile game looking backgrounds and platforms with low quality animations paired to cartoony and stylized character art that really stands out from the rest.
I realized a while ago I'm just not a fan of the 2.5D platformer because they so rarely pull all elements together and get it right.
Was super disappointed when I heard IGA's Bloodstained game was also going with that 2.5D presentation. Give me a Mega Man or Castlevania with fluid 2D animation and art on par with or better than a modern 2D platformer take like Dead Cells instead. :(-

Bloodstained is kind of the same deal as this with me: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jYNeGqp20uQ
Stylized characters that don't really fit with the blah general background level art and design. It's just so flat and boring looking and not at all in line with the character art is presenting. A still from that game can look like a photoshop of two separate games.
I can at least see why they went with that for the added depth to the scenes at least, and of course it's probably cheaper and easier than doing every screen and room in the detailed hand drawn with parallax depth old school style, especially when talking stuff that scales up properly for higher res displays. That probably goes for most 2.5D games, like this Mega Man 11. Still don't like it though :(
Same dislike extends to most of the modern 2.5D fighting games. Either the backgrounds suck or the characters or animations do, rarely do you see it all working together in a beautiful way. I think Guilty Gear Xrd and the new Dragonball Fighterz from the same team are the lone exceptions, but there the 3D stuff is deliberately emulating 2D anime styles. But the backgrounds, while also looking like hand drawn with the textures, do have some weird 3D-ness that doesn't always mesh well. And then on the other end you see something like Marvel vs Capcom Infinite or KoF14, yikes. Give me the 2D Marvels or 2D KoFs character art and animations over that trash any day :(

I'd probably agree, at least I don't recall having any issues with that one at the time.
I know there's more examples out there, imo it's just a lot harder for these 2.5D presentations to pull everything together in a way that is satisfying and pleasing to look at on the whole, even if they manage to nail the 2D gameplay in a 3D engine (which is another big issue for me). Constantly finding them to distracting or ugly in some way or another. Which I'd happily admit may just not appeal to my own visual tastes and sensibilities, it's all entirely subjective.

Reminds me a bit of mm8.

I might agree with you on the backgrounds, but the enemies have way more personality than Might No 9. I'm stoked they tried to bring the old aesthetic into 2.5d.

It looks like what people wanted from MN9

Tis a fakeout, unless they're also letting you swap between 2D and 3D visuals?

The only megaman game I think I ever played was this

Fuck yeah, I love all the footage they showed there! Looks like it plays well, the animations and enemy design give a similar vibe to the orignal series, music is interesting, and it looks like it could have some original gameplay in the enemy encounters.
Unlike Mighty No. 9, where I got a queasy feeling the first time I saw gameplay footage.
Also, the first few minutes of that video demonstrate whey I stopped trying to collect every Mega Man game about 10 years ago. They just wouldn't let up. -
