- My Hero Academia's impact in the anime world has been impressive, with potential for future games exploring new storylines and characters.

The manga for My Hero Academia may have come to an end, but that doesn't mean the end of the line for games based on the series. My Hero Academia may not have been around as long as series such as Dragon Ball, but it's one of the bigger names in recent anime. There have already been a few games based on the series, most notably the My Hero One's Justice fighting games. There could still be a future for the series in the realm of gaming, especially with how much more My Hero Academia has to offer.
Regardless of how many games My Hero Academia has, its rise in the anime world has been impressive. Among the series that made their debuts in the 2010s, it has arguably made the biggest impact. The series follows the story of Izuku Midoriya, also known as Deku, a boy who aspires to be a hero despite having no Quirk, the series' name for superpowers. However, a chance encounter with his idol All Might led to him inheriting the latter's quirk and getting a chance to live his dream. The series became one of Shonen Jump's biggest recent hits by far, spawning multiple spin-offs and original movies.
Video Games Could Be a Major Part of My Hero Academia's Future
A Future MHA Game Can Follow the Cast as Pro Heroes
Following the release of the battle royale My Hero Ultra Rumble, there is still plenty of ground that the series can cover in the gaming world. At the end of the series, Class 1-A have moved on to professional hero careers. It would be cool to see a game follow up on these early years of their time as pro heroes. Players could have a chance to play through villain encounters as various characters, potentially including those that often stay out of the spotlight such as Sero, Ashido, and Shoji. The cast's pro careers would be a fantastic source for future My Hero Academia games.
Deku's New Hero Suit Can Be Explored in Games
Deku's own future also provides a new angle. Ironically similar to Deku's appearance in Fortnite, he no longer has One for All at the end of the series, having sacrificed his Quirks in the final battle. However, the ending also reveals that he still had the ability to be a hero thanks to an advanced battle suit that grants him enhanced abilities. His previous game appearances all featured his fighting style when he had One for All, but how he uses his new suit hasn't recieved the same treatment. A My Hero Academia game set after the manga could show off Deku's new style.
The cast's pro careers would be a fantastic source for future My Hero Academia games.
A My Hero Academia Game Could Star a New Class
There is one more obvious hook that could be used for a new game. The next My Hero Academia game could let the player play as a UA student, either alongside Class 1-A or in the new class taught by Deku. Players could design their own hero, choose their quirk, and customize their fighting style. They could perhaps even form friendships and team up with other heroes-in-training. This game could send players on missions that further expand the My Hero Academia world in several ways. A new game could be the best way to explore My Hero Academia's next generation.
My Hero Acadamia's main story is over, but such a major franchise is unlikely to fade away easily. While it may not match Dragon Ball's library of games, there is still a world of potential for future My Hero Academia games. What happened after the final defeat of One for All is too tempting a concept not to explore in at least some way. Not to mention, it could let fans revisit some of their favorite characters in-game. My Hero Academia still has plenty left to do in the gaming industry.
In My Hero Academia, Young Deku is born into a world where people commonly have something called quirks, also known as superpowers. He himself is born without any, but circumstances lead to that changing. He enrolls at the UA High School, a prestigious academy where the worlds future heroes learn how to use their powers.
