A new trailer for Mega Man 11 dropped Tuesday showing off an extended look at the game's slick, modern visuals and new time-slowing mechanic to help you master tough platforming and difficult boss battles.

In addition to a look at some of the upcoming game's levels and bosses, the trailer also reveals the game's release date: Oct. 2. The new entry in the series will be coming to Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC.

Mega Man 11, first revealed in December, comes eight years after Mega Man 10 and 31 years after the first Mega Man game revolutionized the 2D platforming genre as we know it.
