Bandai Namco Entertainment's Jump Force, a 3v3 arena fighter, has been hard at work to bring some of the best characters in the history of shonen together in one place. Reaching as far back as its City Hunter days while also including some new characters from shows like Black Clover, it's tough to find at least one character that hasn't gotten the game treatment, yet.
However, upon release, the game did not have as many characters as it does now. While the roster still had many heroes and villains from Shonen Jump magazine, some mainstays still needed attention, mainly side characters.
It was teased earlier in the month that Hiei of Yu-Yu Hakusho would be appearing in the title, yet no official gameplay footage had been revealed. Now, it looks like fans will finally have a taste of what the hero has to offer with some exciting new combat footage!

Hiei is to be included in the game's second character pass, along with characters from Bleach, My Hero Academia, Hunter x Hunter and Jojo's Bizarre Adventure. While there is no official release date for the pass, it is confirmed to cost $17.99 or $3.99 for each character, with the Switch version coming next year.

When the real world collides with many of the Shōnen Jump universes, humanity is invaded by the "Venoms", an army of mind-controlled villains led by Kane and Galena. In order to fight back, many heroes are recruited to join the "Jump Force" under the leadership of Director Glover and his A.I. partner Navigator. But a suspicious figure is using both the Jump Force and the Venoms as an attempt to gain a mysterious artifact and merge all worlds into one.
Jump Force is available now on PS4, Xbox One, and PC!
