Jump Force

Jump Force Deluxe Edition

System: Switch
Release date: August 28, 2020
Developer: Spike Chunsoft
Publisher: Bandai Namco


Having initially released in 2019 on other platforms, Jump Force would have been one of Bandai Namco’s last games that I figured would get ported to the Switch. Given its massive and almost realistic approach to anime characters that had conflicting art styles, when it was announced one had to wonder how a game with the graphics, intensity, and speed would even be able to properly run. Jump Force also initially felt like a step back from the previous celebration of iconic anime franchises in J-Stars Victory VS, as Jump Force not only had a smaller roster at launch, but from fewer franchises represented. Despite this, however, over a year and a half later, Jump Force Deluxe Edition on Switch brings with it the entire character roster including plenty of DLC for one unified package.

The latest issue of Weekly Jump has revealed the first DLC character for Jump Force to be Meruem from Hunter x Hunter. Jump Force is already out on other platforms, but the Deluxe Edition that includes Character Pass 1 is due out for Switch on August 27 in Japan and August 28 in North America and Europe. What other DLC characters do you hope to see? Special thanks to Gematsu for the screenshot and information.
