Bandai Namco’sJump Force, developed by Spike Chunsoft, has been a title that’s been going strong with support despite being different from the traditional BNE fighters likeTekken 7,Soul Calibur 6, orDragon Ball FighterZ. Released in February 2019,Jump Forceis an arena-based anime fighter with a roster from variousShonen Jumpseries, meant to commemorate the manga magazine’s 50th anniversary.
Jump Forceis currently in its second season of DLC, beginning withTodoroki fromMy Hero Academia, Meruem fromHunter x Hunter, Hiei fromYu Yu Hakusho, and most recently Yoruichi fromBleach. The final character of the season, Giorno Giovanna fromJojo’s Bizarre Adventure,was announced some time ago. Bandai Namco has recently provided screenshots of theGolden Windprotagonist, weeks away from Giorno’s expected release date.

The screenshots showthe gameplay of Giorno and his Stand, Gold Experience Requiem, while also providing insight on how Giorno is expected to be played inJump Force. Playing the role of the puppet archetype in a fighting game, Giorno’s stand does the fighting with many ofJojo’svisual cues, including its fast-paced attacks and over-the-top effects expressed via its screenshots.
The last trailer that Bandai Namco released forJump Forcewasthe Yoruichi trailer in January, making Giorno’s gameplay speculation. Modders in the past have been able to access a very early build of Giovanna alongside Yoruichi late last year, with “early build” being the keywords as his appearance seemed highly incomplete compared to the rest of the cast. With the expectation of a trailer for Giorno soon, following the screenshots,Jojofans won’t have to wait long to play GioGio himself.
Jump Forceis available now on PC, PS4, Switch, and Xbox One.
