A Roguelite Spin on Quirks and Teamwork
My Hero Academia UNITED SURVIVAL (nicknamed "HeroSaba" in Japan) isn't another turn-based gacha RPG. KLab (Bleach: Brave Souls) and gumi (Brave Frontier, The Alchemist Code) are building a roguelite hero action game where players power up Quirks, assemble three-hero squads, and tear through waves of enemies with combo ultimate moves. Each run offers different upgrade paths, and the game promises original scenarios alongside storylines pulled from the anime.
Pre-registration opened on June 25, 2026, across the App Store, Google Play, and the game's official site. The game supports Japanese, English, and Traditional Chinese from launch, covering nearly every major market outside mainland China. A Windows PC version is also confirmed.
Pre-Registration Rewards and the 500K Milestone
KLab is dangling a straightforward incentive: if pre-registration hits 500,000 players worldwide, everyone gets a gacha ticket that lets them choose one SR-rarity character from Izuku Midoriya, Katsuki Bakugo, or Shoto Todoroki. Additional milestone rewards are listed on the official pre-registration site and the game's official X account.
The key visual for the game features an exclusive illustration by Bones Film, the animation studio behind the My Hero Academia anime. That visual and the teaser PV released in April showcase the trio-based action at the core of the game's loop.
The Franchise Behind the Game
My Hero Academia hardly needs an introduction, but the numbers still impress. Kohei Horikoshi's manga ran for a decade in Shueisha's Weekly Shonen Jump, crossing 100 million copies in worldwide circulation. The anime, produced by Studio Bones (Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, My Hero Academia), became a flagship shonen series on Crunchyroll and Funimation.
UNITED SURVIVAL marks KLab's play in the MHA franchise after securing licensing rights from the My Hero Academia production committee. The co-development partnership with gumi brings together KLab's 3D action game experience and gumi's track record in mobile RPGs.
Looking Ahead
KLab says the game will launch sometime in 2026 but hasn't pinned down a specific date. Distribution is planned worldwide except mainland China, with day-one support for iOS, Android, and PC. The free-to-play model uses in-app purchases.
For updates, KLab is directing players to the game's official X accounts: the Japanese account at @heroaca_HS and an English-language account at @MHA_HS_en. Whether additional languages or console ports are planned beyond the initial three-platform, three-language rollout remains unannounced.
