The game is an 11th main entry in the original Mega Man series, and was released worldwide for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, Windows, and Xbox One in October 2018.

Players control Mega Man in an attempt to stop Dr. Wily from using the Double Gear system that he invented many years before when he was at Robot University.

[5] The story begins with a flashback of Dr. Thomas Light and Dr. Albert Wily when they were students at Robot University at the exact moment they had their falling out.

The committee is debating over choosing either Light's research of robots with independent thoughts or Wily's Double Gear system to continue work on.

Light explains to Mega Man about the Double Gear System and its capabilities, warning him that he won't stand a chance on his own.

After defeating four Robot Masters, Light explains to Mega Man that the Double Gear system was partly responsible for him and Wily falling out.

After defeating all eight Robot Masters, Auto attempts to locate Wily, who angrily challenges Mega Man to come to his Gear Fortress so he can deal with him.

Back at the lab, Light reveals he and Auto went to the Gear Fortress to find the parts in order to rebuild the Robot Masters.

Auto uses Mega Man's Double Gear System to carry the Robot Masters to the repair room, so they can be sent back to their owners (during which he overheats and faints).

Mega Man 11 features 3D polygonal characters and hand-drawn environments, departing from the pixel art-based approach from previous games, and is displayed in 2.5D.

[7] It was directed by Koji Oda and produced by Kazuhiro Tsuchiya,[8] with character designs by Yuji Ishihara,[9] and music by Marika Suzuki.

[26] Nintendo Life gave it a 9/10 rating, writing that "Mega Man 11 is an excellent resurgence for the Blue Bomber, imbuing the tried-and-true classic gameplay with modern touches and new ideas that expand on existing concepts in interesting ways.
