Earlier this year, some dataminers revealed that a bunch of characters from various Shōnen Jump series were going to be joining the ambitious roster of Bandai Namco and Spike Chunsoft's
Jump Force.
These alleged characters were later confirmed by Bandai Namco, although the developer didn't really share trailers or screenshots for these new fighters that came from series like
Naruto,
One Piece,
My Hero Academia, and
Dragon Ball Z.
According to Bandai Namco, the characters that would eventually joing the
Jump Force roster, as part of the game's Character Pass, were Hitsugaya Toshiro and Grimmjow Jaegerjaquez from
Bleach, Majin Buu from
Dragon Ball Z, Biscuit Krueger from
Hunter X Hunter,
Katsuki Bakugo from
My Hero Academia, Madara Uchiha from
Naruto, and Trafalgar Law from
One Piece.
While some of these characters have already joined the game's roster, Bandai Namco still has a few more to release, and today is Madara Uchiha's turn to shine — as the developer shared some in-game screenshots of the villanous
Naruto antagonist and has also revealed that he will be joining the roster at some point
this Winter.
Take a look:
