Today, Bandai Namco United States confirmed that all playable characters inJump Forceat launch have been revealed. You can find below what the company answered when asked if other playable characters will joinJump Force’s roster before the game’s launch:
Jump Force’s roster is made of characters from Shonen Jump Magazine, the most famous manga pre-publication magazine in the world. Here’s the list in alphabetical order of all manga and characters inJump Force:
One important reminder is that while he appears in the game,Death Note’s Light Yagami isn’t actually playable. There are also four original characters designed by Akira Toriyama inJump Force, two of which playable: Galena and Kane, for a total of 42 playable characters.
Jump Force’s roster doesn’t take risks, and only include protagonists and the most popular characters from the most popular Shonen Jump manga. I’d say the only surprise is the inclusion of Dai fromDragon Quest The Adventure of Dai. As far as I know, Dai was never ever playable in a video game until now.
If your favorite Shonen Jump character isn’t in the game, they might be coming later in the form of DLC. At least nine DLC characters are already confirmed, as detailed in the official description ofJump Force’s Ultimate Edition, containing a Season Pass.
Seeing the roster, it’s highly probable these DLC characters will be, again, from the most currently popular series:Naruto/Boruto, One PieceandDragon Ball. You shouldn’t expect Medaka Kurokami fromMedaka Boxor Train Heartnet and Eve/Golden Darkness from Black Cat/To Love-Ru to show up, though I’d love to see them. And I’m still waiting forSlam Dunk. PerhapsDeath Note’s Light and Ryuk will be made playable through DLC as well.
Jump Force’s latest gameplay videos showedJotaro and Dio,Gaara and Kaguya, andBoruto and Dai.
Jump Force will be available for PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC, on February 15. You can pre-order the game nowÂvia Amazon andÂget some nice bonuses.
