A sequel to My Hero One's Justice, it was announced to be in development from Bandai Namco Entertainment in an issue of Weekly Shōnen Jump in September 2019.[1] The game was released in Japan for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, Windows, and Xbox One on March 12, 2020. It was released internationally on the same platforms the next day.[2] On February 15, 2022, the game was released on Google Stadia.[3]
