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.
However, after three years of special training, Saitama has become so powerful that he can defeat opponents with a single punch, making life a little boring. That is, until a new enemy appears that will push the superhero to the limit.
There are still a lot of questions surrounding where the game will be available, how much will it cost to play and how to gain access during the upcoming beta tests. So, to help make things a bit simpler, we've rounded up all the latest details in one place.
