More battle royale action is on the way, but this time, with an anime spin. A new issue of Weekly Jump has announced My Hero Academia: Ultra Rumble, which is set to be a free-to-play third-person battle royale with 24 players, following recent industry trends. The two magazine pages show a handful of screenshots of the game, showing some of the main heroes and villains from the manga series. According to the Japanese text, Ultra Rumble is headed to Xbox One, Steam, PlayStation 4, and Nintendo Switch, with no release window, and a closed beta test planned for the future.

A handful of My Hero Academia games have been released in the past few years, including the console titles My Hero One's Justice and its sequel, as well as various mobile gacha games.

Urgh... As much as I love MHA, I'm getting so sick of Battle Royales.

 

[sombrerosonic]

Battle Royales are trash.

 

[Aheago]

I want to have high hopes for this; but almost all anime games feel like boring cash grabs imo

 

[CoolMe]

Meh.. Why can't we have a "Naruto Shippuden UN Storm" like game, or even "DB FighterZ" for MHA?

 

[Wuigi]

My hero's one justice 1&2 already had no effort put in telling the story like Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm 2-4 did and the combat system also felt way worse.
Changing it to a battle royale seems to be the logical conclusion to not putting in any effort beforehand as well.

 

[Kioku]

Just seems counter intuitive.. Oh well. People will play it.

Of course it’s going to be a microtransaction trash fire, but of course people are going to suck it up like a sponge in water.

The fanbase for MHA is as bad as Naruto’s fanbase back when it was the hottest anime. You disagree with them, get blasted by fanboys.

 

[ZeroFX]

Trash, just like Namco Bandai nowadays. That company can burn alongside square enix.

A shame that anime fans don't care about a game being good. They still buy/play bad games anyways just because anime characters are in them.

 

[felindamuliadi]

Battle Royale with in-app purchase? Sounds like something I should avoid like a plague, especially if it turns out to be online-based too.
I'd rather pay for a offline, single-player game with all contents unlocked than play a free game with a paywall. Sorry, Todoroki, I won't play this one for sure.

Ultimate Ninja Storm : Please allow me to introduce myself

 

[AkiraKurusu]

Okay, when is this gonna occur, in-universe? Because while I don't watch the anime much, and have never touched a single manga in my life, I do read wikis and some major shit went down in the Pro Liberation Army arc a while back- like, Aizawa got severely injured, Midoriya left school, Midnight's retired, etc.

Or is it just gonna ignore the manga and just have a bunch of MHA characters available to brawl, regardless of whether it makes canon sense or not?

 

[Something whatever]

zzzz free to play battle royle....zzzz


should make a game were we make our own heros or bad guy in training

 

[Guacaholey]

Battle Royales are trash.

They're fine, especially the bigger ones. The problem is a lot of ones are just lazy cash grabs trying to chase the trend because Fortnite, PUBG, Apex, and COD Warzone are all so popular. We've got stuff like FFVII First Soldier, the Kitchen one that started as a parody, then ditched that, there's some isometric cutout style thing with animals, CSGO's battle royale mode, and a handful of other mediocre to bad ones nobody really plays.

 

[Luke94]

Let me guess it sounded like Fortnite Battle Royale? One guy from My Hero Academia looks like mix between Overlander from The Boys and Donald Trump on steroids.

 

[Guacaholey]

I'm actually a little excited because it's coming to consoles and PC instead of being a phone game.
