For those who ownJump Force, or run out and make a hasty purchase today, the offline content will still be available. Interestingly enough itlooks like online battles will be available too. The caveat is that it won’t have multiplayer lobbies or ranked matches. DLC will still be usable too, as long as you have purchased it before sales end.
Jump Forcelaunched toa so-so reception. It’s another in a long line of 3D arena fighters, a genre that’s already had a lot ofShonen Jump-related additions. But it did have some unusual characters in it for a fighting game, like Yugi fromYu-Gi-Oh!and Light fromDeath Note.
It’s a shame to see such big crossover fighters go down, and you’d hope that this just indicates anotherJumpgame might be on the way. For now though, today’s the last chance to nabJump Forceif you want to keep the 3D brawler on your console for the foreseeable future.
