 One Punch Man Twitter

While the second season of the anime "One Punch Man" has recently been confirmed, fans of the unbeatable hero Saitama and the gang will be doubly happy to learn that "One Punch Man' will soon have a mobile game of its own.

The game was officially announced by its creators at the "One Punch Man" Fall Festival held recently at Ōmiya-ku in Japan, Mobipicker reported.

However, fans should be able to rest easy now that there has been an official announcement for the second season of the hit anime. The show's official Twitter account posted an image of Saitama's fist with a huge Number 2 in the middle, hinting at the return of the popular animated show.

Fans will even be happier to note that instead of a 12-episode run, the second season is rumored to have a total of 19 episodes. With 19 episodes in season 2, Saitama will now have more opportunities to showcase his strength against a slew of opponents in the upcoming season.

While there has been no official release date announced for the "One Punch Man" anime, rumors are rife that the line up of possible oppponents that are ready to face off with Saitama is nothing to scoff at.

Even more challenging for the hero are rumors that he will somehow lose his powers for a short period of time in the second season, which may lead to "One Punch Man's" first ever defeat.

Among those who are expected to go up against "One Punch Man" himself is Lord Boros, whom he famously defeated last season. Amai Mask will also challenge Saitama along with Garou, the one opponent who can withstand his incredibly strong punches.

It is also rumored that his close ally Genos will be pitted against his former friend after a misunderstanding causes a rift in their relationship, Itechpost reported.

The series is expected to air early in 2017.
