Some fan-favorite characters won’t actually be playable in Jump Force.
Speaking to Game Informer, Bandai Namco producer Koji Nakajima touched on Jump Force’s cast of characters. “… Not everyone is suited to fighting, but might have a part in the story,” he said. “The question of how all these universes came to ours will involve characters who aren’t necessarily selectable characters who are used to hitting each other.”
This could possibly mean Death Note’s Light Yagami and Ryuk might not join the fight. The duo showed up right at the end of Jump Force’s E3 announcement trailer, but they don’t actually go into battle.
