Dentsu Entertainment USA has announced that it has licensed Capcom's iconic MEGA MAN™ in the US for a Cartoon Network exclusive animated series that will premiere next year. The studio selected to helm the production is the Canadian DHX Media, best known for producing many family-friendly series and franchises broadcast across multiple specialty cable networks. Man of Action, scriptwriters for many of Cartoon Network's biggest hits will develop the screenplay for the new series.

As the series will be targeted towards young children, the new series will take liberties with the established characters and introduce new characters for this latest adaptation, such as Mega Man "alter-ego" Aki Light, Mega Mini™ and Suna Light while integrating established characters such as his trusty cyborg dog Rush.
