Considering the mass appeal of the shonen brand and the ravenous fanbase surrounding it, it's no surprise the level of fun and praise that a game like Jump Force has achieved since its launch. The 3v3 arena fighter from Bandai Namco Entertainment is best known for its vast library of characters that have appeared throughout the history of Shueisha's Weekly Shonen Jump.
Now, two new DLC characters from two different eras are about to arrive to the game, and the best part about them is that they come from the same mind. Both Yu Yu Hakusho and Hunter x Hunter were spawned from the mind of Yoshihiro Togashi, and now two of those show's most iconic characters will be joining their contemporaries in the new game!
Following an announcement that both Hiei and the tragic villain Meruem were coming to Jump Force as part of the new DLC pack, a new trailer seeing the two creations face-off was revealed! Make no mistake, the hype is real, and the new trailer proves that.
As more characters arrive onto the game, the question remains, who's next? We would love to hear your thoughts on the new trailer in the comments section below!
When the real world collides with many of the Shōnen Jump universes, humanity is invaded by the "Venoms", an army of mind-controlled villains led 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. But a suspicious figure is using both the Jump Force and the Venoms as an attempt to gain a mysterious artifact and merge all worlds into one.
Hiei and Meruem arrive on Jump Force for PS4, Xbox One, and PC on October 27th, then on the Nintendo Switch in early 2021!
