My Hero Academia United Survival opens global pre-registration on mobile

My Hero Academia UNITED SURVIVAL opened global pre-registration for mobile, and the pitch is aimed squarely at fans who want to swing quirks through survivor-like chaos instead of watching the anime from the sidelines. KLab has sign-ups live on the App Store, Google Play, and the official website, with the game planned for a 2026 release on iOS and Android and worldwide distribution except Mainland China.

The hook is not just the license. KLab and gumi are building a roguelite action game where players form a squad of up to three characters, use Quirks as special abilities, and trigger flashy ultimate moves in fast, intuitive combat. That gives the project a clearer identity than a simple branded reskin: the appeal is both the screen-filling action familiar to survivors fans and the chance to drop recognizable My Hero Academia heroes into the middle of it.

KLab first confirmed the title as My Hero Academia UNITED SURVIVAL in an April 6 announcement, alongside a teaser trailer and key visual posted to the game’s official X account. The later launch notice said the game is being developed under license from the My Hero Academia Production Committee, and store materials frame it as free-to-play with in-app purchases. English and Japanese are confirmed, with additional languages also listed in the launch materials.

The timing gives the game a strong runway with anime players who may not usually touch roguelite action. Kohei Horikoshi’s manga ran for a decade in Weekly Shonen Jump, and secondary coverage says the series has surpassed 100 million copies in worldwide circulation. That kind of name recognition matters when the actual gameplay loop is built for short sessions, repeated runs, and the kind of quick power-building that has made survivor-likes so sticky on mobile.

The result is a genre mashup that feels calculated for the current mobile market. Instead of leaning only on character collecting, KLab is pairing one of modern anime’s biggest brands with a format that already works well in portrait-friendly, pick-up-and-play bursts. If the pre-registration campaign converts, UNITED SURVIVAL could be the kind of licensed mobile release that gets fans to install for the heroes and stay for the chaos.
