Mega Man is one of the most iconic characters in video games. Or at least he used to be, so it’s been disheartening to see how Capcom’s treated the lemon-slinging blue bomber in recent years. For fans of the games, there was a great new hope.

Mega Man designer Keiji Inafune’s new Comcept is making a spiritual successor. Mighty No 9, game that looks and plays like a modern Mega Man, featuring a new Robot, new robot overlords and new development disasters.

Fans and backers of the crowdfunded game have waited for what seems like forever for Mighty No 9, as it got hit with delay upon delay – withering the once palpable excitement down to nothing. Could a release date reignite people’s interest? At this point, probably not – but there is a release date anyway.

Keiji Inafune has confirmed that Mighty No. 9 has finally gone gold, and will be available on June 21st 2016 in North America & Asia and June 24th in the rest of the world.

Says Inafune:

To all of our backers and fans of Mighty No. 9,

Firstly, I would like to say again how sincerely sorry we are for how long we have kept all of our fans waiting. We are finally able to deliver some long awaited news regarding Mighty No. 9. We have now confirmed the following release dates for Mighty No. 9: June 21st 2016 (North America & Asia) and June 24th 2016 (World Wide). We understand that as a result of the various delays we have disappointed and let down our fans, but we are happy to finally be able to deliver the game to everyone who brought us this far.

With the game having “gone gold” we are in the last final stages of being able to deliver it into your hands, be that via your favorite retail outlet, or via digital channels.
Therefore the release date we are announcing is set in stone and there will be no further delays for the game.

Portable versions for PlayStation Vita and Nintendo 3DS will follow at a later point.

It has been almost three years since the start of our Kickstarter campaign, which was only made possible through the support of our backers and fans around the world. This is a project where everyone’s passions were combined in order to create something very special, and we are looking forward to delivering the final product to everyone who was involved. There can be no stronger connection between game creators and game fans.

Now that the dust has settled, we will be delivering Mighty No. 9 to everyone next month. How long will it take you to clear the main story on NORMAL? How many people are going to be able to clear MANIAC mode? What is going to be the fastest record for the time attack mode? We are looking forward to seeing the community answer all of these questions for us! Make sure to let us know your feedback and thoughts on the game through our SNS channels as you play the game. Your voices are what made this game possible, and we want to continue hearing what you think so that it may influence our future endeavors.

      Yeah, bad time for any other game. If, IF, No Man’s Sky can live up to the hype. Or even halfway so.
