A listing for "MEGA MAN LEGENDS – NEW MEDIA" appeared on ACTRA Toronto, a Canadian trade union representing performers in film, television, and video games. The listing vanished within hours of being reported by Gematsu, with fans capturing screenshots before removal. The sparse listing details suggest a remaster or remake, though Capcom has not confirmed the project.
The original English dub of Mega Man Legends was recorded in Ontario, Canada. If Capcom is redubbing the game through ACTRA, it may be for union reasons or to rehire original voice actors. Redubbing appears necessary because Robert Norman Smith, who voiced Teisel Bonne in both Mega Man Legends games, died in 2020 after being charged with distributing and possessing child sexual abuse material. Smith had previously served a prison sentence for the same crime in 2008.
Capcom is aware of Mega Man's 40th anniversary arriving in 2027, as evidenced by the recent release of Mega Man: Dual Override.
