Jump Force being removed from sales and online services shut down next year

[Gorosei Informer]

Not sure if anyone cares about Jump Force BUT it's being permanently (as far I'm aware) from sale anywhere/everywhere on 7th February next year! Seems to be only focused in the Americas for some reason?

yeah most of WSJ outside of Dragon Ball Z and Naruto has 0 presence in the United States/North America/South America/Canada, and that includes One Piece unfortunately which along with the other series in the game is considered to be 'niche' by many as someone that lives in the US

Game was cool, fight mechanics needed a little work though.

im from America. Most of those characters are pretty while know to an extent. But a good 3rd were people I’d never seen. Like the guy above side over here, if it’s not DBZ/bleach/naruto related chances are nobody cares. Cartoon Network destroyed One piece early on, which is why it never achieved the others success. Plus the art style over here, just call ugly lol not unique

Been stopped playing tho so

yeah the only reason i didn't mention bleach was because it didn't have an anime since 2011 and the manga's reputation was destroyed by the time it ended miserably, and most fans that got into anime after 2011-12 since then don't even know about its existence

Yeah that would explain it, it's a complete shame. So many series deserve so much love and exposure outside of Japan and in the West especially. It reminds me of how Sengoku Basara never took off in the West when it's such a great series and games too, sadly.

Absolutely true unfortunately. I remember wishing I could play so many Jump games but never having the chance to and this explains why.

Didn't help Jump Force had a lot of controversy with it's released state, the graphics/art style and all the other typical problems with recent anime games too.
