Gaming fans in Europe will have one more reason to visit Gamescom this year, as A Plus Japan and Crunchyroll Games will be bringing a demo of their hotly anticipated action game One Punch Man: World for those lucky enough to be in Cologne, Germany between August 23rd and 27th.
One Punch Man: World is a full-on action game that brings the series manga series up to the Alien Conquerors Arc to your fingertips. Step into the shoes of iconic heroes such as Genos, The Atomic Samurai and Speed-O-Sound Sonic as you battle through a host of monsters to protect City Z. You can even control Saitama themselves, just of course incredibly powered down.
Given the wild reception One Punch Man has received the world over, there is no doubt that Hall 6 will be flooded with visitors to Stand B-031 to try the hands-on preview and take part in a host of events. With the number of crazy characters in the show, you can expect to see some excellent cosplay too.
Start off by collecting a Guidebook from the booth staff, then set off on your own heroic journey around the hall. Steel yourself to try the One Punching Machine challenge and see if you can give Saitama a run for his money, and then pose with the great man himself for a photo op.
You will be able to be some of the first players in the West to try the English demo of One Punch Man: World, before returning your completed Guidebook to the Stand and getting your hands on some limited prizes such as hand fans, mouse mats, and most importantly, masks. Just be able there is a first-come-first-served basis for these, so get up early.
One Punch Man: World will be available to download from the App Store and Google Play.
