Bandai Namco is making a 'My Hero Academia' battle royale for PS4, Xbox One and Switch

As if the market for battle royale games wasnt crowded enough already, youll soon have another option in the form of My Hero Academia: Ultra Rumble. Based on the popular manga and anime, Bandai Namco teased the title in a Weekly Shnen Jump article spotted by Gematsu.

Ultra Rumble doesnt have a release date yet, but it will come to Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC via Steam. Compared to battle royales like Call of Duty: Warzone and PUBG, Ultra Rumble looks like it will be a more intimate affair with support for up to 24 players in a single match. Bandai Namco plans to hold a closed beta for the game in the future.

Its hard to judge the potential quality of Ultra Rumble based on a few magazine scans, but as Eurogamer notes, past My Hero Academia havent been great despite the popularity of the source material. 2018s My Hero Ones Justice, for instance, was greeted mostly with middling reviews. Heres hoping Ultra Rumble breaks that trend.
