Confirmed for North American and European releases on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC, with a 3DS version planned for a winter release, the digital-only compilation will sport numerous behind-the-scenes extras like concept art, as well as a new Challenge Mode providing additional gameplay.

The initial teaser for the game, which can be viewed above, promises “8-bit style with HD flair” for the graphics, but what exactly that means for the classic games’ presentation is still up in the air.

Mega Man Legacy Collection will launch for $14.99. We will continue to keep you updated on more news regarding the compilation as it drops.
