Leaked list (unconfirmed, spoilers)
Third-party sites reported that Steam achievement strings for Mega Man: Dual Override were reportedly exposed through a Steam API scan (often credited to Exophase), as summarized by Nintendo Everything (2026-09-08) and Game Informer (2026-09-09). Capcom has not confirmed any achievement text or roster.
Names appearing in that leak coverage (unconfirmed):
Twinkle Girl, Jet Man, Boat Man, Tank Man, Sand Woman, Cook Man, Cleanser Man, Build Men
Additional unconfirmed claims in the same coverage:
- Cleanser Man is the design contest grand-prize Robot Master (Capcom has not announced a contest winner name).
- Each Robot Master stage uses three areas, and achievement text referenced a “Superhero” difficulty label (not verified by Capcom).
How this differs from official info: Jet Man matches Capcom’s official site description. Twinkle Girl is also official. The other names in the leak list have no matching Capcom announcement as of 2026-10-23. Treat the entire achievement dump as rumour until Capcom publishes a roster.
