Now, for Paris Games Week, Bandai Namco has told these fans when they can; Jump Force is scheduled for release on PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One on February 15, 2019.

Additionally, a new trailer reveals two characters coming to the roster: Ryo Saeba from City Hunter and Kenshiro from Fist of the North Star.

Slices of manga history, Saeba and Kenshiro both debuted in the 80’s, and their inclusion is likely to cause surprise and delight for many following the fighter.
