One of the major surprises during the Xbox E3 2018 briefing was the new Bandai Namco fighting game, Jump Force.
The reveal was accompanied by a cinematic trailer as landscapes from iconic anime are shown before Frieza, arguably the most recognizable villain from Dragon Ball Z, is seen destroying a city. Heroes like Naruto, Luffy from One Piece and Goku arrive on the scene and they all team-up to fight the tyrant.
There's some gameplay that shows how fighting in Jump Force looks like. It's very reminiscent of the Dragon Ball Xenoverse series, as players fight in a 3D landscape.
But that's not all, the Jump Force reveal trailer shows one more character that will join the ranks. Light and Ryuk from the Death Note series appear on the roof of a building look down at the action as the trailer reveals the 2019 release date window.
Check out the first trailer for Jump Force above. Jump Force is set to release in 2019.
