My Hero Academia Is Launching a Virtual Escape Game

By Evan Valentine

UA Academy is unleashing two wars on two fronts, with My Hero Academia's sixth season diving headfirst in the Paranormal Liberation War and the manga currently telling the story of the series' Final Arc. Before the Shonen franchise comes to an end, the students of Class 1-A are far from saying goodbye and a new digital escape room event will allow players from around the world to take the chance to join Deku, Bakugo, and Shoto Todoroki on a new adventure.

The upcoming mobile game will see each player taking on the role of a second-year student who will be interning with the hero, Slidin' Go, which will eventually see the player teaming up with Deku, Bakugo, and Shoto Todoroki to take on a rampaging giant robot. Of course, for those who have been following along with My Hero Academia's anime and manga, Slidin' Go was revealed to be a member of the Meta Liberation Army, working undercover within the heroes' ranks in an effort to assist the criminal organization that is looking to eliminate a society that places regulations on Quirks. Prior to the beginning of the Paranormal Liberation War, Slidin' Go was arrested for his crimes and has yet to return to the series.

You can visit the official website for My Hero Academia: Escape From The Giant Robot Villain Attack here, with new art being released in anticipation of the Digital Escape Room which will also bring back a number of voice actors from the series in Japan to help sell the virtual experience.

In the past, there have been quite a few anime escape rooms that were set up in Japan, with just a few examples focusing on popular franchises such as JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, Rurouni Kenshin, Hunter x Hunter, and more. The game itself is already taking sales for the materials that will be needed to join in with the students of UA Academy, with orders open for this month.

Which anime franchise do you think would work well with its own Escape Room? What has been your favorite example of an anime video game released in the past?
