Let's get ready to rumble, as Bandai Namco announces
MY HERO ULTRA RUMBLE,
a battle royale based on the My Hero anime. This is coming to PC via
Steam,
PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch. This doesn't yet have a release
date, but
registration is underway for a PlayStation 4-exclusive closed beta that will
run in two phases next month. Here's the
Announcement Trailer with a look, and here's more:
In MY HERO ULTRA
RUMBLE, players will join one of eight three-player teams as Heroes or Villains
as they battle on expansive citywide maps. By controlling classic My Hero
characters, fans can make the most of their Quirks to attack enemies and
cooperate with their team to survive fights. Players can also contribute to
their team’s victory by rescuing or intimidating civilians on the field to
obtain powerful items that can determine the outcome of the battle.
“The world of My Hero and its colorful cast of Heroes, Villains, and their
Quirks provide the perfect setting for a fun and frenzied free-to-play Battle
Royale experience that remains faithful to the series’ themes and strengths,”
said Aoba Miyazaki, Producer at Bandai Namco Entertainment Inc. “We’re eager to
share our take on team-based Heroes vs. Villains gameplay through our first
Closed Beta test, and we can’t wait to work with the community to make MY HERO
ULTRA RUMBLE a thrilling Battle Royale experience for fans and players of online
multiplayer games.”
