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.

These additions put the confirmed character count at 28, and Jump Force is truly shaping up to be what the E3 announcement suggested: a raucous celebration of all things anime.
