If you’re eager to get your hands on Jump Force, Bandai Namco’s crossover fighting game centering around licenses from Japan’s Shonen Jump magazine, you won’t have to wait too long. After a private beta late last year, the game will be getting a public beta later this month on January 18 through January 20.
