Two years ago, Capcom released a game collection from the classic Mega Man series. After the initial success of the first one, the publisher has announced that another compilation featuring the blue bomber is on the way later this year.

Mega Man Legacy Collection (Rockman Classics Collection in Japan) was released on August 25th, 2015 on PlayStation 4, Steam and Xbox One, while a Nintendo 3DS version was released a year later. Mega Man Legacy Collection features a compilation of the first six entries in the classic Mega Man series all nicely packaged on one disc with high-definition 8-bit graphics. Also, the collection features additional content as well as achievement/trophy support.

Much like its predecessor, Mega Man Legacy Collection 2 will be a compilation of games from the classic Mega Man series. However, unlike the original collection, this collection will feature the last four games from the classic series that were not available in the first Legacy Collection.

The Legacy Collection 2 will feature new content never included in any of the games original release including additional challenges, a sound room, as well as online leaderboards. Additionally, Capcom has announced that Mega Man Legacy Collection 2 will only see a release on PlayStation 4, PC, and Xbox One.

“The legacy continues with Mega Man Legacy Collection 2,” the trailer’s description reads. “Bringing Mega Man 7, 8, 9, and 10 to PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC.”

The games featured in the collection include:

• Mega Man 7 (1995)
• Mega Man 8 (1996/1997)
• Mega Man 9 (2008/2010)
• Mega Man 10 (2010)

You can check out the new trailer below. Mega Man Legacy Collection 2 will launch on August 8th on PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
