Jump Force Greatly Expands the Number of Fighters From the Naruto Universe

Bandai Namco revealed new characters entering the battle in their Shonen Jump fighter Jump Force, coming to PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC-via steam on February 15.

The publisher revealed a group of new playable character from the Naruto universe, Boruto Uzumaki, Gaara, Kakashi Hatake, and Kaguya Otsutsuk. Each character will feature distinct move sets and skills that fans will recognize as they control them in battle. This announcement all comes with the reveal of a new stage, Konoha, where I’m sure plenty of epic battles will soon take place.

Jump Force follows the story of how players will exist in the world of shonen characters and fight alongside them in a battle to correct evil wrongdoing. The player will create their very own avatar, customized with a large variety of costumes and skills and joins the Jump Force located at the Umbras Base.

In case you missed it, Asta from Black Clover was recently revealed in screenshots and we went hands-on with the game during the open beta weekend and gave our impressions.

Author’s take: How are new characters still being announced!? Honestly, this game is like the Smash for manga nerds and I’m 100% on board with it.
