Blurring the lines between anime and video game
A few days ago, Bandai Namco released the opening cinematic for their upcoming video game adaptation of One Punch Man: A Hero Nobody Knows. It features many heroes from the manga and anime that fans will recognize, all presented in a classic anime opening style cutscene. Of course, no anime opening would be complete without a striking song. The cutscene song is Freaking Out! by JAM Project, who also did the anime's opening music.
The cutscene opens with one The hero Mumen Rider facing off against the monster Deep Sea King, who quickly defeats Mumen Rider. Saitama then arrives to save him. Deep Sea King proceeds to attack Saitama, who engages with an attack of his own, which appears to be the normal punch. This erases Deep Sea King. Afterwards, a montage of heroes begins, moving between Tornado, Speed-o'-Sound Sonic, Genos, and finally Caped Baldy AKA Saitama AKA One Punch Man. The trailer ends with Boros unleashing his energy and Saitama unleashing a punch that appears to clear the sky, making his attack visible from space.
One Punch Man: A Hero Nobody Knows can be pre-ordered for additional content. Saitama (Dream Version) is an additional playable character, and there are also additional outfits for Saitama; one in a tracksuit and one in a formal black suit. A Saitama mask is also available as an avatar. A Hero Nobody Knows will be available on PC, Xbox One and PS4 on February 28, 2020.
