My Hero One's Justice 2 Release Date Revealed

Given the popularity of the My Hero Academia franchise, it should come as no surprise that video games featuring the anime and manga's characters are already being produced at a fast pace. Not only has there been the original My Hero One's Justice last year, a fighting game featuring characters from the franchise, but there's already a sequel coming next year, and now it officially has a release date.

While it had previously been expected next year, My Hero One's Justice now has an official release date: March 13, 2020. The fighting game is set to release for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PC via Steam, and Nintendo Switch early next year with what Bandai Namco touts as a revamped story mode as well as new characters like, for example, Sir Nighteye, All Might's former sidekick with the Quirk Foresight.
