Anime and manga have created a rave on the internet for the right reasons. Besides bringing a coalition of animation and realism, anime characters also pack in an action punch, making it everyone’s favorite.
However, if you are a novice in anime, chances are that Naruto is the only thing you are likely aware of, and that’s fine. But what about video games? Jump Force, one of the top anime integrated games, garnered so much popularity on the internet.
Sadly, Bandai Namco, in February 2022, announced that users wouldn’t be able to buy digital copies of Jump Force or any of the associated DLC characters. They also reported that many of the game’s online services would be discontinued in August 2022.
Although not many players have an idea why Jump Force is getting delisted, the only thing we can do is keep track of all the popular DLC characters for future gameplay. This article explores all of that and more in detail.
