Jump Force: the game will be withdrawn from sale in 2022, all explanations

Released in February 2019, Jump Force was to crystallize all the expectations of fans of manga and japanimation since it brought together all the greatest heroes of Shônen in one and the same game. The result was quite different and even rather mediocre (rated 09/20 in our Jeuxactu columns), and it seems that Bandai Namco Entertainment is already turning the page on this disappointing climax. Indeed, in a press release posted on its various social networks, the Japanese publisher informs us that the game will be withdrawn from sales as of February 8, 2022. Be careful, however, that these are only digital sales, which means that The game will no longer be found on the different stores of each manufacturer. In the process, Bandai Namco specifies that most online features will also disappear from August 25, 2022, as well as rankings and online events. A hasty and unexpected end of life that raises questions that Bandai Namco will not answer. The game is it deserted to continue to feed it, or are we on a cessation of the exploitation rights of all these licenses? The two cases are causal, because if the game hasn’t sold well, what’s the point of continuing to spend a fortune to maintain the license rights? Logically, none. It will then be necessary to turn to the games in physical version to continue playing them, even after his death.
