Jump Force features an extensive roster of fighters from a variety of anime and manga, with 42 playable characters in total. Considering this, some players may be wondering how to unlock all of the fighters in the game, and as it turns out, it isn't all that difficult to do so.
The beginning of Jump Force's story mode sees players watching cut-scenes, completing tutorials, and interacting with some of the game's characters. This includes an objective where players have to talk to Goku, Luffy, and Naruto, who serve as the leaders in the game. After completing all of these tutorials, Jump Force's entire roster will unlock for the game's multiplayer modes. However, unlocking all of the characters for use in single player is a little trickier.
In Jump Force's single player story mode, players will have to continue playing to unlock new characters. Basically, characters will unlock at specific points in the story, so players won't be able to play as everyone right off the bat in single player.
It remains to be seen how fans will react to this approach. Some would prefer to unlock new characters by completing certain tasks in the game, like we saw with Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, which forced players to unlock the vast majority of its massive roster. Alternatively, those who are more into the competitive aspect of fighting games may prefer to have all the characters unlocked right away, as it makes more sense from that standpoint.
It's also worth mentioning that Jump Force will be adding more characters as DLC at some point in the future. Right now, the plan is for Jump Force to have nine DLC fighters, but the developers have been quiet about who could possibly be added to the game. There are quite a few possibilities, especially since some of the anime/manga only have one character representing them in the current game.
Jump Force fans should learn more about the game's lineup of DLC fighters in the coming weeks.
Jump Force is out now for PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
