The first paid “Jump Force” DLC arriving in May includes three new playable characters along with exclusive avatar costumes and skills upgrades. The roadmap already confirmed that Seto Kaiba of “Yu-Gi-Oh!” will be added to the roster plus two other fighters that will remain nameless until Bandai Namco makes the official announcement.
While Bandai Namco would not reveal the two other playable characters at this point, there are eight possible names. It can be recalled that upcoming playable characters were revealed through datamined information shortly after the launch of “Jump Force” in February.
Aside from Seto, Bandai Namco is expected to add Hitsugaya Toshiro and Grimmjow Jaegerjaquez from “Bleach,” Katsuki Bakugo and All Might from “My Hero Academia,” Biscuit Krueger from “Hunter X Hunter,” Buu from “Dragon Ball Z,” Madara Uchiha from “Naruto,” and Trafalgar D. Water Law from “One Piece.” Developers have yet to confirm or deny this information. But seeing that dataminers gathered this details through files in the game, there is a huge chance of seeing these characters added to the roster within this year.
The “Jump Force” 2019 roadmap shows there will be updates and new contents arriving every month through August. And Bandai Namco assured fans that there will be “more updates to come.”
