New Jump Force Trailer Introduces Yu Yu Hakusho’s Hiei

A new character is entering the constantly growing roster of Jump Force. A few weeks ago, it was announced that another Yu Yu Hakusho character – Hiei – will be added to Jump Force and now an impressive new trailer is showing what he can do in the game.

Jump Force is a fighting game created by Spike Chunsoft and was published under Bandai Namco. It features a set of characters from Shonen Jump – a weekly manga magazine that has been established since 1968 in Japan.

The characters included in the game include the most beloved heroes from the anime, manga, and beyond such as Luffy, Goku, and Naruto. Yu Yu Hakusho is a classic manga turned anime which was originally published in the 1990s and the upcoming character Hiei is one of the show’s major characters.

The newest trailer featuring Hiei of the Evil Eye shows off his no-worries attitude and his ultimate move Flame of the Dragon of Darkness. Hiei boasts of his extreme speeds and incredible strength as well as his resistance to some elements.

Hiei looks like a great inclusion to the popular fighting game. He is scheduled to join Jump Force via a DLC expansion coming this fall for the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. Unfortunately, Nintendo Switch owners of the game will have to wait until next year to receive the expansion.

The good news is, Jump Force will be coming to the Switch via a deluxe edition which promises to include a couple of unique features for all manga fans. The previously revealed trailer for Jump Force: Deluxe Edition features a diverse roster including beloved characters from My Hero Academia, Yu Gi Oh!, One Piece, Naruto, and more.

Interestingly, this deluxe edition of Jump Force will also contain characters who were launched through previous DLC expansions such as Shoto Todoroki and Meruem from Hunter x Hunter. The new trailer also revealed bonus items for fans who preordered the game before September 9.

The items were mostly cosmetics but included the Saiyan armor and a Hokage cloak as well as revealing that more content will still be added to the game. It will be intriguing to see if these new additions can sway fans who are worried about the reputation of the game.

Jump Force is now available for the Nintendo Switch and players will certainly happy that the developers are adding more characters to the game. Along with the preorder bonuses, it appears that the game still has a lot to offer even if there are still issues present in the game.

The framerate in the trailer is obviously inconsistent and as a result, most fans will expect this problem to continue upon the release of the new updates. Additionally, it is improbable that the narrative that underpins the action inside the game will be rebooted for this launch.

This Switch version of the game is unlikely to alter the minds of most players but it should continue to interest fans of the anime and manga series included in the game.
