The battle royale based on “My Hero Academia” is coming to smartphones — the first teaser has been released

Progress cannot be transferred from the PC and console versions.

Bandai Namco has unveiled the first teaser for My Hero Ultra Rumble Mobile and opened pre-registration on the App Store and Google Play. The exact release date has not yet been announced, but the App Store already lists a target date — February 6, 2027.

The mobile version of the battle royale will retain the format where eight teams of three battle it out on a gradually shrinking map. To overcome opponents, players will need to combine the Quirks of heroes and villains, as well as enhance their abilities using cards obtained during the match.

Android and iOS users will be able to battle each other, but cross-play with PC and console players will not be supported. Purchases and progress from the original version will also not carry over, so even veterans will have to collect heroes from scratch.

The original My Hero Ultra Rumble was released in September 2023 on PC, PS4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch. For the game’s third anniversary on September 30, Season 19 kicked off, introducing Shoto Todoroki with “Phosphor” and Toya Todoroki. On Steam, the game has about 68% positive reviews based on over 28,000 user reviews. In negative reviews, players complain about matchmaking, balance, and gacha. The latter two issues are connected: if a featured banner hero is stronger than the rest, players either have to save up tickets or spend real money to play as them.
