The addition of My Hero Academia’s quirky little hero is only the latest to join the packed Jump Force roster, as a whole host of other heroes (and villains) are also set to debut. That’s not to mention the game’s custom character creator, which players utilize in an epic Story Mode adventure to save the earth as well as all of humanity. Jump Force releases for PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One on February 15th, 2019.
