While it is true that it is no longer the anime of the moment, One Punch Man is still a very popular anime. Despite a disappointing second season and a manga that has lost focus, the series continues to captivate people. Probably, thanks to charismatic characters, a fascinating premise, and exceptional character development. Something that, until now, has not been achieved in any game of the franchise.
Until now because, in fact, a new game from the franchise will be released very soon: One Punch Man: World. With a release date set for January 31st, the game has received its launch trailer, which aims to replicate the intensity of the anime itself with a series of spectacular cinematics.
Although the trailer doesn’t show any gameplay itself, the previous trailer, presented during Gamescom 2023, did. While it doesn’t show much of the game either, it seems to be a multiplayer action game with something more. It will also feature an open world in which we can do different types of side missions and play mini-games designed for the occasion, inspired by the different characters of the franchise. This gives it a more immersive dimension that will be appealing to fans of the bald hero par excellence.
However, don’t be fooled. Although it is true that it is an action game, it is primarily designed for mobile devices. Although it will also receive a PC version, since its main focus is on phones, the control system will be much simpler than if it were for consoles. So don’t expect something like Devil May Cry.
One Punch Man: World will be released, as we have already mentioned, on January 31st for PC, iOS and Android. And if you want to catch up with One Punch Man’s adventures, both seasons of the series are available on Crunchyroll.
