Spike Chunsoft's Jump Force is an anime crossover fighting game that was released back in 2019. The game was meant to help celebrate Shueisha's Weekly Shōnen Jump's 50th anniversary and featured characters from the weekly magazines. Unfortunately, despite all the hype that it received at launch, the game didn't live up to expectations. Many criticized Jump Force for the lack of balancing and fine-tuning, as well as a simplistic combat system, and a multiplayer lobby that was awkward with long loading times to boot.
Nearly four years after it was first launched, it appears that Jump Force is saying goodbye for good in August 2022.
Jump Force will be unavailable for purchase in 2022
According to Bandai Namco, Jump Force will no longer be available on digital storefronts in American territories starting on February 7, 2022. Meanwhile, Bandai Namco will take down all online servers of the game by August 24, 2022. By then, gamers will no longer be able to purchase all Jump Force-related content from any digital storefront. This includes all the DLC and Character Packs as well as JF Medals.
