Capcom has revealed Cook Man as the fourth Robot Master in Mega Man: Dual Override. The kung fu chef swings a giant cleaver at Mega Man and Proto Man, and the game launches in spring 2027 on Switch 2, Switch, PS5, PS4, Xbox and PC.
The reveal came on the morning of November 1 through the official Mega Man account on X. Capcom showed Cook Man in a short video and shared official artwork, which lists his serial number as DWN.094.
Who is Cook Man?
Capcom's official description calls Cook Man a wandering chef seeking recognition for his culinary prowess. He prepares to slice and dice our heroes with his "Kung Fu Cooking" style. The official post asks: "Can you take the heat, or will you get out of his kitchen?"
The artwork shows him in red armour with a chef's hat-style helmet and a huge cleaver, with tube-like attachments on his back. Nintendo Life notes that, like other Robot Masters, he'll appear at the end of a stage to try to stop Mega Man and Proto Man.

Capcom is revealing Robot Masters one by one at a steady pace, so expect regular news until launch. Classic Mega Man games usually have eight Robot Masters, so four more reveals in the coming months wouldn't be a surprise. The game arrives in 2027, the series' 40th anniversary year.
