Bandai Namco just announced that the
Jump Force open beta will be hosted from January 18 to 20, 2019, giving all PlayStation 4 and Xbox One players a unique chance to test the upcoming title ahead of its launch (on February 15). During the beta, you will play online as one of 17 characters: Monkey D. Luffy, Himura Kenshin, Vegeta, Frieza, Blackbeard, Younger Toguro, Hisoka, Gon, Sasuke, Pegasus Seiya, Goku, Roronoa Zoro, Yusuke Urameshi, Ichigo Kurosaki, Rukia Kuchiki, Kenshiro, and Naruto.
Jump Force is all about pitting two teams of three against each other in sprawling 3D arenas. In the beta, you will battle other players on five stages: Mexico, Namek, Matterhorn, Hong Kong, and New York. At launch,
Jump Force will be featuring some iconic locations like the aforementioned Namek from
Dragon Ball Z, Konoha Village from
Naruto, and even
Rurouni Kenshin's Kamiya Dojo.
While
Jump Force might fulfil every anime fan's dream to see some of their favorite characters battling each other in one bigger than life crossover, Bandai will also be letting you build your very own fighter from scratch using a variety of aesthetic options and later customize them the way you like.
