New One Punch Man Trailer Unveils Tank Topper Army And Metal Bat

Bandai Namco has released a new trailer for their upcoming adrenaline-soaked fighter One Punch Man: A Hero Nobody Knows. The video offers a first look at two new characters: Tank Top Master and Metal Bat.

Tank Top Master, the S-Class Rank 16 professional hero of the Hero Association, heads the Tank Topper Army. This rather peculiar group believes that the path to true strength lies in tank tops. Two other members of the Tank Topper Army—Tank Top Tiger and Tank Top Black Hole—also appear in the trailer, likely there to assist their leader.

Metal Bat, a.k.a. Bad, the S-Class Rank 15 professional hero of the Hero Association, is known for his killer style, explosive temper, and potent combat skills. As you might have guessed from his street name, the hot-headed fighter wields a metal bat with brutal efficiency.

Tank Top Master and Metal Bat join the growing lineup of One Punch Man heroes ready to protect the world from villains like Mosquito Girl and Vaccine Man. With the game's release still months away, One Punch Man already has one of the wackiest fighting game rosters produced in recent years, a reflection of its quirky source material.

Before A Hero Nobody Knows was conceived, One Punch Man existed as a popular manga and anime series. Set in the same universe, A Hero Nobody Knows will let you create a custom avatar and become a legend of your own. Complete missions and work your way up through the Hero Association ranks. Random events ranging from supervillain interference to asteroid crashes will keep you on your toes, ensuring that battle never grows stale.

One Punch Man: A Hero Nobody Knows releases for Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC in 2020. Bandai Namco has scheduled a closed beta for November 1 through November 3, suggesting that the game's development has progressed far enough to allow for functional gameplay.
