For those who don’t know One Punch Man, it is a story about an ordinary man named Saitama who trained himself to become the strongest hero of all time. However, not many people recognized him to be the strongest hero in the series. And Saitama himself also believes that he became a superhero for the fun of it, and longs to meet someone who will not be defeated by his punch.
One Punch Man: A Hero Nobody Knows will be released on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and will be digitally released for gaming PC. However, as of today, Bandai Namco hasn’t announced any release date for the game.
