Fans of the comedy-adventure anime series "My Hero Academia" are aware that a new season is in the works. Apart from that, the franchise will also release a new game and a new movie.

The series is also available in manga version where the anime is based on. Since the manga already has many details that will be used for a future story arc, fans can anticipate an entirely fresh style to the anime. But there is no doubt that fans are more excited to hear about its upcoming movie.

Some users of the Manga Helpers, a website wherein early leaks from Shonen Jump magazines are posted, revealed the future of the show. User Razers translated the portion of the leaked magazine that talks about a film with a tentative release date in 2018. Although plans for a new movie were already revealed, there are no other details announced so far.

Because of that, fans are hoping that they will get a glimpse of the film during the upcoming Weekly Shonen Jump. According to ComicBook, there is a possibility that the film will cover an anime-exclusive storyline.

Aside from the movie, a new video game will be released based on the anime. The game is titled "My Hero Academia: One's Justice" wherein protagonist Izuku Midoriya will use his quirks or superhuman powers to defeat his enemies. Despite being born without a special power, Izuku will be able to permanently remain strong. He is also consistent with his goal to help other people.

The game will feature destructible stages and dynamic character movements that will simulate battles from the anime. More details about the game will be revealed at the Jump Festa on Dec. 15.

The reported "My Hero Academia" movie is set to air next year. Meanwhile, the game will be available on Nintendo Switch and PS4. Its release date is not revealed yet.
