My Hero’s characters - which include the initially ‘quirkless’ Deku, the explosive Bakugo and the legendary Superman-like figure of All Might - have already made their way into the likes of Fortnite as a series of skins and other cosmetics, along with dedicated quests and custom Creative mode variants.
My Hero Ultra Rumble will give the cast their own battle royale world to scrap in, with 18 of My Hero Academia’s characters - including both heroes and villains - forming eight teams of three before fighting to be the last team standing. Y’know, battle royale stuff.
