About My Hero Academia Ultra Rumble
My Hero Academia Ultra Rumble is a battle royale-style action game that pits eight teams of three against each other on a vast arena to see who reigns supreme. In this example, the battlefield is based after the Unforeseen Simulation Joint (USJ), a large facility utilized by U.A. High to train potential heroes in a variety of scenarios.
The teams will search the field for goods and equipment to help them improve their “Quirk” abilities. Quirks get increasingly powerful when objects are accumulated, as seen by Shoto Todoroki’s Level 4 Ice Wall, which is significantly bigger and more durable than a Level 1 wall. Players may also exchange goods between themselves to ensure that their characters have the finest improvements available.
The clip also stated that certain My Hero Academia characters would appear in Ultra Rumble. Shoto Todoroki, Katsuki Bakugo, and Izuku Midoriya are all extensively featured. Tsuyu Asui and Ochako Uraraka, their classmates, are also present. For Pro Heroes, All Might, Cementoss, and Mt. Lady all show off their abilities, with Mt. Lady being able to utilize her size-changing ability to transform into a gigantic. The League of Villains is represented by Himiko Toga, Mister Compress, Dabi, and Tomura Shigaraki, who are all playable antagonists.
