MY HERO ULTRA RUMBLE - Developer's Blog VOL. 28
Thank you for playing MY HERO ULTRA RUMBLE.
Thanks to all of you, it's already been three years since launch!
We've reached the milestone of our third anniversary with Season 19.
We owe these years of continued operation to all the players who have supported the game. From everyone on the team, thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
We remain committed to developing even more content and making MY HERO ULTRA RUMBLE more exciting than ever. We hope you'll continue to enjoy the game.
First, let's introduce Season 19's new playable character, Shoto Todoroki (Phosphor)!
He joins the roster as an entirely new character, distinct from the Shoto Todoroki already available in the game.
Shoto Todoroki (Phosphor) was designed to reflect Shoto toward the end of the story, after he has deepened his understanding of his Quirk and mastered Flashfire Fist: Phosphor.
We've completely revamped all of his Quirk Skills and Special Actions.
With moves such as his Quirk Skill α, which hurls chunks of ice to freeze opponents in place, and Quirk Skill β, which strikes opponents quickly with a blade of flame. Quirk Skill γ, which sends him dashing forward to attack with a fiery shock wave, allows players to switch between fire and ice at will.
Using his Special Action, Flashfire Fist: Phosphor, further enhances each of his Quirk Skills. It opens up more ways to fight, such as increasing the number of shots he can fire or turning attacks that burn opponents into ones that freeze them.
His other Special Action, Ice Slide, gives him excellent mobility, letting him slide along walls and use other maneuvers to keep opponents guessing. He's fun to play even when you're just sliding around, so be sure to try him out for yourselves!
We've also aimed to make this third anniversary season one of our biggest and most rewarding yet. Here's a look at what we've prepared, including several updates!
1. New Hero Image
We've updated the hero image for MY HERO ULTRA RUMBLE! The studio bones film inc. has created a brand-new illustration of six characters having a blast as two teams of three face off!
The previous hero image featuring Midoriya, Bakugo, and Todoroki has been added as a Gallery illustration, so be sure to pick it up!
2. A Campaign Bringing "You Say Run" to the Game
The music on the title screen and during the final stages of battle will change to the iconic "You Say Run"!
This change will stay only during the Season 19 period, but we hope you'll enjoy reliving the anime's many unforgettable scenes every time play.
3. Third Anniversary Rolls
To thank you for your continued support, we're bringing back two special Rolls for our third anniversary: the Hot Picks Select Roll and the Anniversary Special Roll!
In both Rolls, you can choose eight Battle Styles that appeared in Rolls in Season 18 or earlier to feature as your Hot Picks.
The Hot Picks Select Roll is a 10x Roll with increased drop rates for your eight chosen Battle Styles. Special tickets will be distributed through weekly login bonuses. These tickets let you do at least one free 10x Roll every week.
The Anniversary Special Roll is a 1x Roll that guarantees one of your eight selected Battle Styles. You can earn one special ticket at Hero License Rank 30, so jump into the game and work toward that reward! You can also purchase one in the Shop!
This time, we're also adding the new Special Anniversary Costume Roll!
For this special 1x Roll, you choose four costumes from all PUR costumes that appeared in Rolls in Season 18 or earlier, and you're guaranteed to receive one of those four. You can get a special ticket for free by reaching Hero License Rank 20, and tickets are also available in the Shop!
Take this opportunity to go for a PUR costume you haven't managed to get yet.
4. Celebrate Our Third Anniversary with New Anniversary Missions!
We've added special missions to celebrate our third anniversary!
By completing all the missions that refresh each week and those that run throughout the season, you can earn enough Hot Picks Select Roll Tickets for up to 120 rolls!
On top of that, logging in every week without fail will earn you enough Hot Picks Select Roll Tickets for up to 80 rolls. Collect them all to enjoy up to 200 free Rolls in the Hot Picks Select Roll!
Once you've completed 200 Rolls, you can redeem any one of the Battle Styles you selected as a Hot Pick. This is a great opportunity to complete your roster, so be sure to play and try to collect every Roll Ticket!
5. Comeback Campaign
We're bringing back a special login bonus for players returning after some time away!
This campaign is for players who haven't logged in for at least 30 days and offers 200 Roll Tickets over seven days.
We hope you'll use this as a chance to invite friends who have taken a break from MY HERO ULTRA RUMBLE to come back and play.
6. New Pro Mission Event
We've added Pro Mission Events for players who are new to the game.
These unlock after you complete the Beginner Mission Events, the beginner content introduced in Season 13.
As its name suggests, the Pro Mission Events are designed to give you goals to work toward as you progress from Beginner to Pro Rank.
Completing every mission earns you a special Roll Ticket that guarantees one Battle Style that appeared in Rolls from Season 8 through Season 13, so we hope you'll enjoy battling your way toward that reward.
7. Twitch Drops Campaign
The Twitch Drops Campaign from our second anniversary is returning for Season 19.
Through Twitch Drops, you can earn costumes, Emotes, and Roll Tickets by watching eligible livestreams under the MY HERO ULTRA RUMBLE category for a set time.
The campaign is scheduled to run from October 1 at 5:00 PM to October 28 at 12:29 PM (JST). Details on how to participate will be posted on the official website at a later date, so please check there for more information.
8. Season Trailer
For this season, we've created a special trailer that opens with a quick look back at Seasons 14 through 18, then pulls out all the stops to showcase the battles between the characters at the heart of our third anniversary.
Have you had a chance to watch it yet? It gives you a clear look at the costumes and characters coming this season, so be sure to check it out!
9. New Playable Character Toya Todoroki Coming Soon
Although his release is still a little way off, we'll be adding another new playable character, Toya Todoroki! You saw him appear right after Shoto Todoroki (Phosphor) in this season's trailer.
We've designed him to be a blast to play, bounding across the ground and through the air while wreathed in blue flames and scorching wide areas.
And could that move modeled after Flashfire Fist: Phosphor be making an appearance too? Hmm... We'll share more details on our official social media channels and elsewhere at a later date, so stay tuned!
Finally, we're truly delighted to have been able to celebrate our first, second, and now our third anniversaries with all of you. We'll continue developing and running the game through Season 20, Season 21, and beyond, preparing new Battle Styles and other content for you to enjoy.
Everyone on the development and operations teams will work even harder in the spirit of PLUS ULTRA to give our players what they want to enjoy most.
Enjoy the third anniversary season as we kick it into high gear!
We hope you continue to enjoy MY HERO ULTRA RUMBLE!
