For the past couple of months,Jump Forcedeveloper Spike Chunsoft has been teasing the characters to appear in its DLC 1 pack including Seto Kaiba fromYu-Gi-Oh!andAll Might fromMy Hero Academia. Now, alongside the reveal trailer of the third character joining the DLC pack, the release date for the first official DLC characters has finally been revealed.
Biscuit Krueger is a supporting character in the anime seriesHunter X Hunter, and the final character to round off theJump ForceDLC 1 pack. Unlike Seto Kaiba and All Might, whose animes only have other one character currently in the game (Yami Yugi/Yugi Muto and Izuku Midoriya, respectively),Hunter X Hunter’s Biscuit joins a pretty well-rounded representation of Gon Freecss, Killua Zoldyck, Kurapika, and Hisoka Morow.
Kaiba, All Might, and Biscuit will be available inJump Forceon May 28, but some will be able to download them a little sooner. Those who have purchased the Character Pass will get access to these characters on May 24, but it also comes with a number of other bonuses such as new abilities and costumes. Purchasing it for $29.99 includes the three aforementioned characters as well as 6 forthcoming DLC characters.
Strong post-launch DLC and content may very well seeJump Forceexpand beyond the promised DLC characters, but that’s not to say for sure. A lot of it likely depends on sales numbers of the game and its DLC, but considering it made the10 best selling games of 2019 listso far, it seems like it’s off to a good start. Publisher Bandai Namco really just has to keep the ball rolling, but the reveal of Biscuit Krueger may be a bump.
BecauseHunter X Hunterhas an extensive roster of character, many appear to be somewhat disappointed by the selection of Biscuit. Nevertheless, a recent leak also suggestsMy Hero Academia’s Katsuki Bakugo will also join the roster, but that remains to be seen. For now, Biscuit, All Might, andSeto Kaiba’s Blue Eyes White Dragonwill have to do when they officially launch on May 28.
Jump Forceis out now for PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
