Even without a recent title, Mega Man has a constant presence, be it in our news reel, the Japanese investor relations site, the frequently updated Rockman Unity blog in Japan, or with frequent rereleases in the digital space. Compare to truly "sleeping" IPs like, say, Chaos Legion. There's a difference, and there's a reason there's a difference.

Sounds like a new Mega Man game could be in the works currently. I certainly hope so, despite the huge amount of Mega Man games already released. XD I've barely played any of them outside of the originals and a few others but it would still be nice to have a new Mega Man game.
