KLab Acquires Global Rights to Make My Hero Academia Online Games

 

There’s now a new home for the development of My Hero Academia games, because game company KLab has announced the acquisition of the worldwide rights (outside of mainland China) to make and release online games based on Kohei Horikoshi’s hit series.

 

Details are light outside of the general acquisition announcement, but KLab says it plans to make several online games that fans of the My Hero Academia series can enjoy all over the world.

If you’re unfamiliar with KLab, Love Live! School Idol Festival, Bleach: Brave Souls and Captain Tsubasa: Dream Team are among some of the developer’s previous efforts. We’ll have to wait and see what they end up creating based on the heroes and villains of MHA.

 

Kohei Horikoshi’s original manga launched back in July 2014 and continues to enjoy popularity as a mainstay of Weekly Shonen Jump magazine. As for the anime adaptation, My Hero Academia season 6 is currently airing, with new episodes debuting each week on Crunchyroll.

 

Synopsis:

Izuku has dreamt of being a hero all his life—a lofty goal for anyone, but especially challenging for a kid with no superpowers. That’s right, in a world where eighty percent of the population has some kind of super-powered “quirk,” Izuku was unlucky enough to be born completely normal. But that’s not enough to stop him from enrolling in one of the world’s most prestigious hero academies.
