Bandai Namco Entertainment has confirmed My Hero Academia: Ultra Rumble Mobile, a smartphone edition of its Quirk battle royale. Pre-registration is open on the App Store and Google Play, and the new @heroaca_ur_mb account is handling game news. Check out the official post down below:
Matches still field 24 players in eight teams of three, with the last team standing taking the win. Each mobile round runs shorter than a console match, and players are matched only against other phone players. Bandai Namco states there will be no cross-play and no cross-progression with the console version.
Controls are rebuilt around taps so Quirk skills fire with one press. The mobile game is free to download with optional paid items, some devices are not supported, and the release date is listed as undecided.
Every fighter already on the console roster is scheduled for mobile from release. That includes Class 1-A, pro heroes such as All Might, Endeavor, Hawks and Present Mic, villains such as Shigaraki, Toga, Dabi, Kurogiri and All For One, and later additions such as Lady Nagant, Star and Stripe, Mirko, Gentle Criminal, Armored All Might, Young All For One and Toya Todoroki.
Loadouts And Roles
Battle styles change how a character plays and which role tag they carry: Assault, Strike, Support, Rapid or Technical. Midoriya's Full Bullet set, Bakugo's Machine Gun and Cluster sets and Uraraka's Zero Satellites set sit beside their Original kits.
Special actions include Midoriya's piggyback, Bakugo's explosion turbo, Uraraka's zero gravity, Iida's wall run, Mt. Lady's gigantification and Hawks' flight and carry options. The voice cast matches the anime, including Daiki Yamashita, Nobuhiko Okamoto, Ayane Sakura and Yuki Kaji for the Class 1-A leads.
All Might's Original kit uses Texas Smash and United States of Smash, and his Gatling style adds Carolina Smash and Arizona Smash. Endeavor's Hellflame skills include Burning Ray, Ignited Arrow and Prominence Burn, with a style that adds Jet Burn and Vanishing Storm. Shigaraki's three styles change his role between Strike, Assault and Technical, and Toga's Sting Dance style moves her from Technical to Rapid.
Support picks include Yaoyorozu, whose Create skills and Lucky Bag special action supply teammates, Cementoss, who raises pillars, load-bearing walls and structural slabs, and Kurogiri, whose Warp Gate and Dark Matter skills reposition the squad. Aizawa's Erasure special action and Mirio Togata's Permeation give Technical and Rapid players ways to shut down or slip past opponents.
Ultra Rumble On Consoles
The console game launched free-to-play on PS4, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch on September 28, 2023, with the Steam version a day later. It supports cross-play, runs at 60 frames per second on PS4 and Xbox One, 30 on Switch and uncapped on Steam, and plays on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S through backward compatibility. No PlayStation Plus, Nintendo Switch Online or Game Pass subscription is needed to play online.
Progression runs through a free Hero License and a paid Pro License that rotate each season, with the Pro License adding limited costumes, appeals, voice lines and gacha tickets, plus a free Special License that includes six playable characters. The game has run through 19 seasons, with Lady Nagant joining in Season 14, and its stages include U.S.J., U.A. Island, Chaos City and the newer Neo Academia.
Ultra Rumble is based on Kohei Horikoshi's My Hero Academia, the Weekly Shonen Jump series about Izuku Midoriya, a Quirkless boy who inherits All Might's One For All and trains at U.A. High to become a hero. Its fighters keep their manga Quirks, from Bakugo's Explosion and Uraraka's Zero Gravity to Shigaraki's Decay and Dabi's Blueflame.
Will you queue Ultra Rumble Mobile for Midoriya's Full Bullet kit, Bakugo's Cluster style or a villain main at launch?
