TOHO and Supercell Bring My Hero Academia to Brawl Stars for the Anime’s 10th Anniversary

Toho International has partnered with the Finland-based developer and mobile game publisher Supercell for the official My Hero Academia and Brawl Stars mobile game collaboration, now available for play through May 5th. The globally popular mobile game introduces players to new character-fave-inspired skins, fun challenges, and immersive in-game content, celebrating the 10th anniversary of the anime based on Kohei Horikoshi’s original manga.

As part of this crossover, the Brawl Stars collaboration calls players (and My Hero Academia fans) to join directly with the world of heroes through thrilling gameplay. Players can experience a lineup of special My Hero Academia-inspired character skins for Brawl Stars characters, including designs based on Izuku Midoriya (Deku), All Might, Katsuki Bakugo, Ochaco Uraraka, and Tomura Shigaraki. Each skin presents the spirits, powers, and personalities of the series’ heroes and main villain.

The new campaign also features a special live in-game challenge event, where players can earn exclusive rewards, including the Uravity: Janet skin, which will also be available for in-game purchase for players who were unable to clear the challenge. The multi-stage objective gives players three lives to complete objectives, with additional opportunities to continue and unlock rewards through progression or by purchasing more lives.

The launch arrives at an important moment for My Hero Academia, as the anime is currently celebrating a decade since the show’s original broadcast that introduced the popular motto “Go Beyond! Plus Ultra!” to the fandom. The event also marks a first for Brawl Stars, as the game partners with a Japanese anime IP for the first time in its history.

Players can participate in the limited-time My Hero Academia x Brawl Stars collaboration event by downloading the game on the App Store or Google Play.
