18 characters, both heroes and villains, will be available at launch. This includes the recent additions of Eijiro Kirishima, Momo Yaoyorozu, and Ibara Shiozaki. You'll unlock these through in-game currency and pulls. Todoroki, fresh from his appearance in Fortnite (https://www.destructoid.com/fortnite-adds-new-my-hero-academia-characters-todoroki/), is also in this battle royale.


A Twitter (X) follower campaign for My Hero Ultra Rumble

Bandai Namco has also announced a Twitter (X, ugh) follower campaign (https://twitter.com/MyHeroUR/status/1704722122998714383). If the account gets 10,000 new followers from now until September 27, everyone will get the following as in-game rewards:




+1,000 followers = 1,000 Agency Points


+3,000 followers = Three Roll Tickets pulls


+5,000 followers = 2,500 Hero Crystals


+7,000 followers = Five Roll Tickets pulls


+10,000 followers = One character ticket (which is an instant unlock)



My Hero Academia: Ultra Rumble (https://www.destructoid.com/when-is-the-my-hero-ultra-rumble-open-beta-platforms-start-time-and-end-date/) is a 24-player battle royale that has you compete in teams of three. Each character has their own unique moves to bring to the table. For example, Bakugo has his explosive fists, while Yaoyorozu can summon ranged cannon fire.


You can mix and match heroes and villains to create the best team. Like many other battle royale games, there are costumes to unlock too.

For example, the first Mission Event will give Uraraka a red and orange look while Tsuyu has a stealthy black and purple design. There will be three events per season that have you "[completing] objectives to earn limited-time rewards," according to the game's official Twitter account (https://twitter.com/MyHeroUR/status/1704933517291893114).


Additional outfits can also be retrieved by using Roll Tickets and Hero Crystals. My Hero Academia Ultra Rumble hopes to leave a mark during this busy gaming season.


Animes and RPGs (https://www.destructoid.com/anime-rpg-opinion-one-piece-odyssey/) are such a great power couple, however, so hopefully one day My Hero Academia will receive a roleplaying game inspired by the Persona seriesin the future. That's simply a wish though.
