One’s Justice For All!
Powering its way through to fans’ hearts by embracing and deconstructing everything they love (and everything they hate) about the superhero genre, My Hero Academia has become a modern shounen series of such high quality that its raised the bar to the point that it might as well be in space by this point!
Of course, given its topic and immense popularity, it was only a matter of time before it got its own video game adaptation. According to an article on Gamespot, Playstation and Nintendo Switch owners will get the chance to take up the mantle of Deku, All Might and the others sometime next year!
Bandai Namco, the publisher behind Dragon Ball FighterZ, Ni No Kuni, and the Dark Souls series, has announced a new My Hero Academia video game. Titled My Hero Academia: One’s Justice, the game will come to Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4.
A teaser website has been live for the game for some time, but right now simply shows a grenade rolling out of a microwave and a countdown with four days left to go. However, Japanese manga publication Weekly Jump (translated by Gematsu) has confirmed the game exists. No other details have yet been revealed for the adaptation; we don’t yet know what kind of game it will be, when it will launch, or if it will come to other platforms. We will likely learn more when the game’s first trailer drops on December 16.
The franchise has already received one video game, titled My Hero Academia: Battle for All. This was released on 3DS in 2016, though never made it to the West. Let’s hope One’s Justice does make it out of Japan when it launches for Switch and PS4.
Are we going to get an original narrative that will see the U.A High students take on a new threat? Or will we get trade blows with the likes of Stain and the League of Villains in glorious boss battles? Either way we can’t wait!
