Crunchyroll Games unveils new One Punch Man game
“One Punch Man: World” is a multiplayer action game set in the One Punch Man anime universe coming to PC and mobile platforms later this year.
Crunchyroll Games has unveiled exciting news for fans of the popular anime franchise, One Punch Man. The company, in collaboration with Perfect World, has confirmed the development of a fresh multiplayer action game named “One Punch Man: World.”
Scheduled for release on both PC and mobile platforms later this year, the game aims to immerse players within the monsters versus superhumans universe of the acclaimed anime.
In contrast to prior attempts to adapt One Punch Man into the gaming world, “One Punch Man: World” will adopt a hack-and-slash action genre with a strong emphasis on multiplayer gameplay. Players will be able to choose popular characters from the anime including Genos, Mumen Rider, and Puri-Puri Prisoner to name a few. Players may advance their abilities by levelling up and accessing diverse characters.
We can all be heroes for fun! 👊💥

The game’s narrative will closely mirror the events depicted in the anime’s first season, faithfully recreating iconic confrontations. Nonetheless, the developers will incorporate novel content to enrich the storyline and maintain player engagement. By introducing raids, mini-games, and side quests, “One Punch Man: World” will offer an array of thrilling challenges.
Terry Li, General Manager of Crunchyroll Games, has expressed his excitement for this project, deeming it their most ambitious undertaking to date. With Perfect World’s expertise and Crunchyroll’s unwavering dedication to delivering exemplary production values, the game vows to captivate both anime enthusiasts and gamers alike.
Notably recognised for their works such as “Tower of Fantasy,” “Final Fantasy Awakening,” and “Persona 5: The Phantom X,” Perfect World is in close collaboration with Crunchyroll for this venture. Their combined efforts are geared towards creating an exceptional gaming experience that remains true to the essence of the beloved anime.
Although core game details, including in-app purchases, are yet to be fully disclosed, “One Punch Man: World” evidently draws inspiration from action games like Devil May Cry. Fans can expect an array of devastating combos, evasive manoeuvres, and ultimate attacks, culminating in a truly immersive and thrilling gameplay experience.
