One Punch Man: World is an upcoming action title published by Crunchyroll games and developed by Perfect World, and a new trailer just dropped today that shows off multiplayer combat, new bosses and more. There’s also a fair bit of anime cutscenes included. These may not be actual gameplay but they do serve to push the hype train forward. Especially for fans of the show and the manga.
While you can play the game solo, its multiplayer aspect is bound to deliver some good times with friends. If you haven’t seen the trailer yet, you can view it below to catch glimpses of some of the game’s included bosses. The trailer doesn’t show off all of them mind you. But it does give players a look at iconic villain characters that they’ll be able to fight. Including Crablante, Subterranean King, Vaccine Man, Mosquito Girl, Beast King, and Carnage Kabuto.
One Punch Man: World multiplayer combat involves raids
I first learning about this game and hearing there’s multiplayer combat, you might assume it’s PvP-based. And there honestly could be some PvP in this game at some point. But the multiplayer combat we’re talking about right now is PvE. So you’re grouping up with other players for completing content.
That kind of content will be raids with tougher challenges and bosses compared to other encounters in the game. So you’ll need a group to down these mega enemies. As in any MMO or MMO-like game. What’s more is that there are multiple playable characters from the show. So you can end up having an eclectic mix of party members.
Multiplayer combat and big boss battles won’t be the only gameplay elements though. There’s also going to be what looks like a pretty good time with an explore mode. Where you can run around the city and take in the game world as your favorite heroes. You’ll meet new people you can talk to and may even stumble on some quests to pick up. It has a whole Persona 5 vibe to it.
One Punch Man: World doesn’t have a release date yet but you can pre-register for it right now.
