According to several reports, the new My Hero Academia game will be a battle royale set in the same world as the superhero universe shown in the anime and manga series. Banda Namco has also revealed that the game will be "free-to-play" and will eventually release for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC via Steam.

While the game focuses on players' abilities to beat other teams, skill cards are also scattered across stages, and certain techniques are for specific characters. It also appears that one of the main focuses is finding cards for teammates so that the team improves as a whole.

As per the information released so far, it seems that My Hero Academia Ultra Rumble will pit 8 teams of 3 players against each other for a total of 24 per match. A closed Beta test is also slated to run for the PS4 version of the game in Japan sometime during February. The test will feature 12 characters, including both heroes and villains: Midoriya, Bakugo, Todoroki, Asui, Uraraka, All Might, Cementoss, Mt. Lady, Shigaraki, Dabi, Toga, and Mr. Compress.

The official website indicates that further playable characters will be available when the video game is officially released. Bandai Namco has not shared a specific release date for the My Hero Academia video game yet. While no English announcement has been made yet either, Bandai Namco has a history of bringing the various My Hero Academia video games to North America.
