New Jump Force DLC Character Hiei & Meruem Get Release Date & Launch Trailer

Today Bandai Namco announced the release date of the next two DLC characters who will be launched for the fighting action game Jump Force.

Those two characters are Hiei and Meruem respectively from yu Yu Hakusho and Hunter X Hunter.

We learn that they will release on Oct 23 for PS4, Xbox One, and PC in early access for those who have the season pass, while everyone else will be able to purchase them separately on Oct. 27.

The Switch version, which was launched much later, will receive the DLC in early 2021.

You can check both characters out in action below.

The character pass that includes Hiei and Meruem also comes with Shoto Todoroki from My Hero Academia and two heroes (or villains) from two super-popular manga and anime series, Bleach and JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure.

At the moment we haven’t seen any hint on who those two characters may be, but they’re likely to be announced sooner rather than later.

Jump Force is currently available for PS4, Xbox One, Switch, and PC. If you want to know whether it’s any good, you can read our review.
