Bandai Namco has announced a sequel to last year's fighting game My Hero One's Justice is coming to Switch and multiple other platforms. Fans of the popular anime and manga series can expect more of the same from My Hero One's Justice 2.
You'll assemble a team of three fighters from a huge roster of heroes and villains, and then face off against rival teams of other players (both online and offline), or against computer opponents. The game will be released in 2020, but there's no solid date just yet. In the meantime, take a look at the teaser trailer and some screenshots below:
To get a better idea of what this series is like, check out our review of the original game, which we said was brimming with quirky potential.

Plus Ultra! ^_^ Just got into the manga series recently.
Not even a full two years and they're making a sequel already? Yeah I'm not exactly confident in this, but hey if it fixes every single problem the first one had and expands the roster, and adds an English dub (which I'm not sure is feasible in two short years), then sure, this will be the best cookie-cutter anime brawler ever lol
Yikes... they already got my money I gotta be honest... haha
I’ll be at New York Comic Con this weekend and can’t wait to give this a try!
@PBandSmelly It's far and away the best written shonen anime in years.
@Indielink It's originally a manga, but yeah, it's definitely a good shounen series. The American comic book influences really show.
@Aquamine-Amarine Oh I know. I read it weekly, but figured more people were familiar with the anime counterpart. Yeah the American superhero influence shows but it's a wonderful take on the genre.
@Indielink i agree especially the fight between all might and all for one best fight and dub ever.
I just started watching the anime a few days ago, and now they announce this! Hope that online play runs smoothly
I'm much much more interested in the Fairy Tail RPG. Anime brawlers are a dime a dozen. If this were a MHA RPG or action adventure title, then I would be much more interested.
I rented the first one this week. It's mechanically fine, but really nothing special. I was pretty disappointed overall, but not surprised. The impact of the well-choreographed fights from the main series is pretty much lost when it's just two dudes wailing on each other in fairly repetitive fights. It's not awful or anything, but I persistently found myself thinking as I played that I would probably have a better time just re-watching the fights themselves.
Good. Now if Namco would just release Soul Calibur 6 for the Switch.
Will there be a dubbed option this time?
@GetShulked Hopefully as paid DLC, so Europeans don't need to pitch in for something they don't need.
@PBandSmelly Guess so. Though I actually have a better time watching One punch man.
@RiasGremory NO SPOILERS!
@PBandSmelly Nope.
Not everyone has to like every popular anime. I couldn't get into Attack on Titan, but I love MHA. Just different opinions.
Would have been nice to make this more than a one on one brawler though...like a mission based character action game or a squad tactic game.
Problem with franchise brawlers is that you're always putting incredibly mismatched people against each other. Injustice and the Naruto Ninja Storm games come to mind.
@graysoncharles Right, but I haven't seen the episode about that fight yet. I'm only 1/4 complete with season 3 and I don't want it to be spoiled.
@Heavyarms55 They do make a ton of Anime fighters, but this is a sequel with which we only have a teaser trailer for. This could fix all of the problems with the first one. I'm looking forward to its' release.
@Reigestugatensho Yeah, but they couldn't fix the problem that it's yet another anime fighter.
It's fine if that's all you want, but that's not what I'm looking for from an anime game. It's why I like the SAO games and why I'm looking forward to the Fairy Tail game, or even a part of why I liked Tales of Vesperia, I want to feel like I'm playing through an anime. Not just locking two characters in a cage and making them beat each other to death.
@Dakotastomp I think that's a risk you have to take when you come into an article for a game that covers the series through season 4 though. Also statute of limitations on spoilers.
Serious!!!! Hyped!!!!!!!!
Didnt expect this
@Heavyarms55 Tales of Vesperia! I have the remake on Switch1 You just reminded me to go play it sometime! I think I'm stuck on a boss though... Anyway, I heard the SAO games weren't really good which one do you like to play? (I heard that Fatal Bullet wasn't good).
@Reigestugatensho I rather enjoyed the SAO games, I played both titles on Switch, Hollow Realization and Fatal Bullet. If you judge the games purely standalone then I can see why people might be confused or not enjoy the game. But the target audience is for people who like the series so I don't know why others would play it. It'd be like saying a Star Wars game is bad when you already don't like Star Wars, of course you wouldn't like the game very much.
But I had a lot of fun with both HR and FB. I think I prefer the story in HR since its more focused on the SAO characters, but FB actually lets you make your own character, which is nice too.
The biased fools who reviewed both games on this site just don't like anime in general and look for any excuse to push their own narrative by making up nonsense like "its sexist and misogynistic" without anything to back up their claims beyond the mere existence of cute anime girls.
@Heavyarms55 hmm... I'll have to check out SAO games then!
