Jump Force is a Fighting game developed by Spike Chunsoft and published by Bandai Namco Entertainment featuring characters from various manga series featured in the Weekly Shōnen Jump anthology in celebration of the magazine's 50th anniversary. The game released on February 15, 2019 for Windows, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. The game's ultimate edition provided players with three days of early access and became available on February 12, 2019.

Premise

When the real world collides with many of the Shōnen Jump universes, humanity is invaded by the "Venoms", an army of mind-controlled villains lead by Kane and Galena. In order to fight back, many heroes are recruited to join the "Jump Force" under the leadership of Director Glover and his A.I. partner Navigator. However, a suspicious figure is attempting to gain the Onyx Book and conquer all worlds.

Gameplay

Jump Force is a 3-on-3 tag team fighting game. Players control one character at a time while the others are used as support, with players able to switch between them during battle while sharing a single health bar. Similiar to J-Stars Victory Vs, these fighters can move and fight in all directions of a 3D battle field, which in some cases can be modified to move to another stage. To win the battle, Player's team need deplete the other's health bar.

Characters

The game's launch roster features 40 playable characters who come from 16 different series. Nine additional characters are planned to be added via downloadable content for a total of 51 characters. Three original characters designed by Akira Toriyama called Kane, Galena, and Prometheus are antagonists of story mode. Light Yagami with Ryuk from Death Note also appear in the story mode as non-playable characters. Players can create their own character, customizing them with different hairstyles, costumes, and accessories earned through gameplay.
