Seto Kaiba is on the cards (sorry)

Jump Force is set to take its anime crossover fighting fest to the next level with oodles of upcoming content for us to tackle our way through. 

Bandai Namco revealed a Jump Force roadmap on Twitter which outlines all the scheduled content we can expect from April right through to August, and happily we’re going to get a lot of free updates. 

Seto Kaiba from Yu-Gi-Oh will be the first paid-for DLC available in May along with two other yet to be announced playable characters. Topped off with some additional avatar costumes and skills, the paid for content is included in the Characters Pass, so it will download automatically if you’ve already bagged it for yourself. 

Along with the new characters in May, another free update will give players an Online Link Mission, a Boss Raid Event and a new World Tournament Stage. 

Here’s what you can expect through to August: 

July
- Free Update: Tournament event, new avatar costumes 

August
- Paid DLC:  3 New playable characters and avatar costumes and skills
- Free Update: New avatar costumes, New Stage: Valley of the End

With six new playable characters joining the roster and a generous helping of free content, it looks like we’ll have plenty to keep the fighting fresh in future.
