Bandai Namco Entertainment has opened pre-registration for My Hero Ultra Rumble Mobile on iOS and Android, but it has not announced a release date. The free-to-play battle royale is a separate game from the existing console and PC version.
Pre-registration began on November 9 through the App Store and Google Play, and a teaser trailer is available in English and Japanese. Gematsu first reported the mobile version on November 5, citing the latest issue of Weekly Shonen Jump.
The mobile game keeps the 24-player format of the original. Matches are shorter, according to Gematsu’s report on the Jump information.
Bandai Namco’s announcement, as published in Japan, describes eight teams of three players competing until one team remains. Each character has a unique Quirk, and the playable area shrinks over time. Players can collect Quirk Skill Cards on the field to level up their abilities, and heroes and villains can interact differently with civilians to gain items.
A release date was not announced in the Weekly Shonen Jump issue, according to Gematsu’s first report, and the company says details will follow later.
The mobile version does not support cross-play with the console and PC versions, and purchase information, play history and account data cannot be transferred. Cross-play between iOS and Android is supported, as is multi-login. Gematsu’s trailer report describes the mobile version as a standalone game, so players who already own the game on another platform should not expect progress to carry over.
A pre-registration campaign offers launch rewards that grow with sign-ups. At 100,000, players receive 50 Gacha Tickets and a Shoto Todoroki costume. At 200,000, they receive 50 Gacha Tickets and a Katsuki Bakugo costume, and at 300,000, 100 Gacha Tickets and a costume for Izuku Midoriya and All Might. The rewards are handed out after release.
The original My Hero Ultra Rumble launched on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Switch and PC in 2023. The Japanese announcement says it has passed 20 million downloads worldwide.
For fans, the practical questions are when the mobile game launches, whether it arrives worldwide at once and how its monetisation will work. None has been answered, and coverage by Gematsu and Bandai Namco’s own pre-registration pages remain the places to watch for details.
