There's a new One Punch Man game coming to mobile and PC. Here's what you need to know.
Everyone loves a superhero. And One Punch Man is a superhero like no other, surpassing more than 30 million copies of the Japanese manga and becoming a cultural hit all over the world.
Now the franchise is back with a new video game in One Punch Man: World.
Having been in early access since November 2021, the online action game is set to feature plenty of classic combo combat, along with lots of fan favourite heroes, such as Genos, Lightning Max, Atomic Samurai, Speed-O-Sound Sonic and Golden Ball.
While no official release date has been set, players can expect the game to arrive on PC and mobile devices.
Made by Perfect World and Crunchyroll Games, the story will pick up as a sinister wave of monster attacks has left Earth’s cities and the Hero Association under duress.
