My Hero Academia’s Deku Announced For Jump Force Roster

Since the reveal of Bandai Namco’s Jump Force back in June at this year’s E3, the publisher has been having a field day with the amount of other franchises joining the upcoming fighter. Previously it was revealed three more characters from Bleach, One Piece, and Dragon Ball Z will be part of the game’s roster coming launch day.

Now another character announcement has been revealed and it’s Deku from My Hero Academia.

The protagonist from both the anime and manga will be equipped with his quirk from All Might to go head on against the other featured characters in the upcoming title. The character’s reveal originally surfaced in the latest issue of Jump Weekly, and later Bandai Namco confirms via Twitter.

As 2018 is soon to conclude in a little more than a week from today, Bandai still has plenty of time on their hands for more additions to the anticipated cast of fan favorite characters. With 12 different universes and over 30 different playable characters, the possibility for more to debut before the game’s February release date is likely to happen before then.

Jump Force will be out for Xbox One, PC, and PlayStation 4 on February 15, 2019.
