One Punch Man: A Hero Nobody Knows has been announced for PC

Bandai Namco has officially announced One Punch Man: A Hero Nobody Knows, which is “coming soon” to PS4, Xbox One and “PC Digital”. The game will be a 3 vs 3 fighting game and the trailer below showcases some of the game’s included characters, which includes Saitama, Genos, Hellish Blizzard, Speed-o’-Sound Sonic and Mumen Rider. Boros was also shown at the end of the trailer, suggesting that he may be a playable character.

At this time Bandai Namco has not revealed where the PC version of this game will launch, though it is likely that the game will release on Windows via Steam.  

For those who do not know what One Punch Man is, it is a Manga which is based in a world containing monsters and heroes, where humanity could easily be wiped out if not for the efforts of superpowered individuals. The series exploded in popularity after the release of season 1 of the One Punch Man anime in 2015. 

Like most fighting games, A Hero Nobody Knows’ characters will almost certainly be powered up or de-powered for the sake of balance, as otherwise, Saitama will win every fight with a single serious punch and Mumen Rider, who’s basically just a helpful man who rides a bicycle, would be easily taken out by most other characters in the series. At this time it is unknown whether or not monstrous characters will be playable.
