My Hero Academia: Ultra Rumble is coming to smartphones as My Hero Academia: Ultra Rumble Mobile. The anime's official account and the new @heroaca_ur_mb account confirmed the release and opened pre-registration, with no launch date announced yet. Check out the official posts down below:
Bandai Namco Entertainment lists the mobile title as a free download with some paid items on the App Store and Google Play, though some devices are not supported. Matches keep the console game's three-player teams across eight squads for a 24-player battle royale, and each mobile match runs shorter than a console match.
Quirk skills fire with one-tap controls on the mobile build, and the controls are optimized for smartphones. Matchmaking is limited to mobile players, and Bandai Namco states there is no cross-play or cross-progression with the console version of Ultra Rumble.
Every character already playable on the console edition is scheduled to appear on mobile from release. The list includes Izuku Midoriya, Katsuki Bakugo, Ochaco Uraraka, Shoto Todoroki, Tenya Iida, Tsuyu Asui, Denki Kaminari, Eijiro Kirishima, Momo Yaoyorozu, All Might, Tomura Shigaraki, Himiko Toga, Dabi, Mr. Compress, Mt.

How The Mobile Royale Plays
Roles split into Assault, Strike, Support, Rapid and Technical, and a character's role changes with the battle style loaded. Midoriya can switch between Original and Full Bullet styles, Bakugo between Original, Machine Gun and Cluster, and Uraraka between Original and Zero Satellites.
Midoriya's page lists Delaware Smash Airforce, St. Louis Smash and Blackwhip under Original, with Full Bullet adding Delaware Smash Full Bullet, Manchester Smash and Ground Impact. Bakugo's Original kit includes AP Shot, Instant Grenade and Howitzer Impact, while Machine Gun and Cluster add AP Machine Gun, Shrapnel Strike, blast mines and cluster versions of his attacks. Voice credits include Daiki Yamashita as Midoriya, Nobuhiko Okamoto as Bakugo, Ayane Sakura as Uraraka and Yuki Kaji as Todoroki.
Todoroki's Original kit lists Hellfire Field, Piercing Ice Wall and Ice Spears with an Ice Crossing follow-up, while his Hyoga Fuen style adds ice-fire hybrid attacks and a Burning Prison skill. Iida's Reciprocal Wheel, Burst and Turbo skills pair with piggyback and wall-run special actions. Yaoyorozu's Create skills and Cementoss's pillar and slab skills cover team support, while Mt. Lady's gigantification and Hawks' flight and carry actions cover mobility and area control.
Ultra Rumble On Consoles
The console version launched as a free-to-play game on PS4, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch on September 28, 2023, with Steam following a day later. It supports cross-play, runs at 60 frames per second on PS4 and Xbox One and 30 on Switch, and plays on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S through backward compatibility.
Console progression runs through licenses. A free Hero License and a paid Pro License rotate each season, with the Pro License adding limited costumes, appeals, voice lines and gacha tickets, while a free Special License held by every player includes six playable characters. Matches take place on the U.S.J., U.A. Island, Chaos City and the newer Neo Academia stages, and the game has now run through 19 seasons, with Lady Nagant joining in Season 14.
Kohei Horikoshi's My Hero Academia follows a Quirkless boy who inherits All Might's One For All and trains at U.A. High. The TV anime has wrapped its run, and the franchise's next steps are laid out in What's Next For MY HERO ACADEMIA Now That The Anime Is Over?
