Easily one of the most popular manga and anime of the last decade, My Hero Academia is getting a brand-new video game that’ll cover the final arc of this beloved comic book-inspired series. Called My Hero Academia: All’s Justice, the 3D fighting game is planned to launch on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X in the near future. While we’re still waiting on a release date, preorders for the game are already live, and you can reserve a physical copy for $60 at multiple online retailers.

$60 | Release date TBA
Like its predecessor, 2020’s My Hero Academia: One’s Justice 2, My Hero Academia: All’s Justice is a 3D fighting game that features the students of Call 1-A going up against an assortment of villains led by the main antagonist All For One’s adopted son and successor, Tomura Shigaraki. The big draw here is the sheer size of the game’s roster, as it looks like just about every character from the show will be present and ready to throw down. Players assemble a team of three characters who can be switched out seamlessly during fights, allowing for special attacks to be chained together. When combined with the new “Rising” gameplay system, these heroes and villains can dish out a significant amount of damage during combat. The game also looks fantastic in action, as the reveal trailer showed off slick cel-shaded graphics.
So far, only a standard edition has been announced for All’s Justice, and no preorder bonuses have been confirmed. However, we’ll update this post if any additional versions or preorder incentives are announced. Physical PS5 and Xbox Series X copies are available to preorder at Amazon, Walmart, and Best Buy.
If you’re unfamiliar with My Hero Academia, the series began as a manga written by Kōhei Horikoshi and was then adapted into the now-popular anime series. My Hero Academia takes place in a world where certain people have superpowers, known as “Quirks.” This has given rise to a new era of superheroes who protect the people from villains who use their quirks for crime, and the greatest of these public defenders is All Might. The series’ protagonist, Izuku Midoriya, dreams of becoming a hero, but was born without a Quirk. However, a chance encounter with All Might allows him to inherit the ailing hero’s powers, which makes him eligible to enroll at the prestigious UA Academy for upcoming superheroes.
My Hero Academia quickly became a smash hit in print and on TV thanks to its likeable everyman protagonist, colorful supporting cast, and a Japanese take on western comic books, and it will be interesting to see how the new My Hero Academia: All’s Justice 3D fighting game will adapt the elements and expand upon the previously released 3D MHA fighting games released so far.
