Jump Force launched on February 15, 2019, for PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. Any DLC purchased before it gets delisted in February is also playable when the game eventually finishes sunsetting. Interestingly, players will be able to continue playing in online PvP battles, just not ranked ones. Jump Force's offline content will still be playable after August, including its campaign mode. Jump Force’s availability through digital purchase in the Americas will end on at 5 PM PST. Our sincere thanks goes out to all Jump Force players and fans for their support but with all good things, they must come to an end. The Premium Shop will go offline a little earlier, on August 1, 2022. Additionally, the in-game store will no longer function. Players will not be able to log into the multiplayer lobby, participate in online events and ranked matches, access clan functions, view the notice board or leaderboards, and accept rewards from the reward counter. It offers a line-up of cult characters in a genre known for attracting a hardcore following and yet, doesn’t truly deliver on the promise of the concept to either player type in a satisfying manner.When the servers shut down on August 24, various features will go down with it. Jump Force finds itself in a weird place. It's like a match against an AI opponent who might actually block and try to use some semblance of strategic play against you, but that's about it. Unfortunately, battling another human being doesn't make the combat any more interesting, instead highlighting how limited and simple it is. Online, Jump Force is functional, allowing for ranked and casual battles against others, unlocking titles and currency for you to spend on items in the singleplayer game. Enemy AI isn’t particularly challenging, only really causing issues when they’re levelled to the point of being able to withstand and dish out substantial damage to you, rather than having them attempt to trick and outplay you. The camera gets lost in amongst the action from time to time, making for some confusing situations. It’s not all bad, as the various worlds these characters hail from are represented by some excellent arenas, as well as a handful of ‘real world’ ones thrown in for good measure. This is such a missed opportunity-many of these characters have made the jump from the printed page to beloved animated series and here, they’re these strange, soulless avatars. Outside of the admittedly impressive awakening attacks, the way they move during combat isn’t much better, again lacking a tightness of control you’d want in a fighting game. ![]() ![]() In cutscenes, their movement is stilted and awkward, with some unintentionally hilarious moments, like characters sliding across the screen and conversations taking place without even the slightest bit of facial animation. A far cry from the astonishing-looking and brilliantly authentic Dragon Ball FighterZ, Goku here looks like a bad action figure. Not just in terms of character variety but their actual character models. ![]() The characters themselves, as iconic as their source material may be, are a mixed bag. You can also buy pieces of cosmetic gear for your avatar, and there’s some nice deep cut references within these unlockables that dedicated Shonen Jump fans are going to appreciate. Experience points increase health and damage output, and you can buy new special abilities, one use items to help you in battle and skills that give you perks like attack buffs, debuff spells and elemental resistance. You join one of three teams, headed up by Goku, Luffy or Naruto and take on missions that either progress their storyline or generic ones that net you experience points, or other unlockables like costumes.
