Jujutsu Kaisen: Cursed Clash announced for Switch

During a panel at Anime Expo today, Bandai Namco unveiled Jujutsu Kaisen Cursed Clash. The game will be launching on Switch “soon”.

Jujutsu Kaisen marks the first time the series will be appearing on consoles. It’s based on the popular manga that started in 2018.

Jujutsu Kaisen: Cursed Clash is a 2v2 action fighting game in which you and your partner aim for the heights by mastering the cursed techniques of Jujutsu Sorcerers including Yuji Itadori, Megumi Fushiguro, Nobara Kugisaki, and Satoru Gojo. Players can choose their own teams, each capable of executing a wide array of powerful tag-team attacks and combos. Different character combinations will have unique synergies and power dynamics. After finishing a battle, players increase their fighter’s power level, unlocking stronger attacks as they progress.

The area brawler allows fans to play through and relive the original story, where protagonist Yuji Itadori and a cast of characters defend humanity against monsters known as Curses in modern-day Japan. The game features visuals inspired by the series’ distinct aesthetics, with a selection of more than fifteen favorite fighters to choose from plus intense action and explosive animations.

Misaki Kai, producer at Bandai Namco Entertainment Inc, said of today’s announcement: “With its unique and compelling storyline and focus on intense action, Jujutsu Kaisen is the perfect anime to make the leap to video games. Jujutsu Kaisen: Cursed Clash stays true to its source material, taking players into this amazing anime universe to live the story and experience the action for themselves.”
