My Hero Academia Battle Royale Coming to Smartphones as First Teaser Debuts

Bandai Namco has released the first teaser for My Hero Ultra Rumble Mobile and opened preregistration on the App Store and Google Play. An exact release date has not been announced, but the App Store lists February 6, 2027, as an expected date.

The mobile battle royale will retain the format of eight teams of three fighting on a gradually shrinking map. Players will combine heroes’ and villains’ Quirks and strengthen their abilities using cards found during matches.

Android and iOS players will be able to play against each other, but not with players on PC or consoles. Purchases and progress from the original version will not carry over, so even veteran players will have to collect heroes from scratch.

The original My Hero Ultra Rumble launched in September 2023 on PC, PS4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch. Its 19th season began on the game’s third anniversary, September 30, adding Shoto Todoroki with “Phosphor” and Toya Todoroki.

On Steam, about 68% of the game’s more than 28,000 reviews are positive. Negative reviews cite matchmaking, balance, and the gacha system. The latter two complaints are connected: if a banner hero is stronger than the others, players must either save up tickets or spend money to play as that hero themselves.
