Fighting game Jump Force gets delisted from all major digital storefronts

After the end of the online service, those who own the game will still be able to play any offline single-player content including the story mode, and be able to access any DLCs (downloadable content) they purchased prior to the delisting. Online battles will be allowed as well, though the development team will not be monitoring any of them and could lead to longer matchmaking times due to a smaller player base.

The game is still available physically (CDs) from brick and mortar stores and top online retailers such as Amazon. Hours prior to removal, the title was listed at massive discounts, allowing players to try out the game one last time.

Bandai Namco had announced the delisting process a year ago, and although they never mentioned a solid reason, one could assume it was not doing well in the online segment. Server issues were rampant, and the player base was gradually moving on to other online fighting games.

Jump Force is a 1v1 real-time fighter, where players create a team of three anime characters from a selection of various manga series and go head to head against others online. At launch, the title featured 40 playable characters from 16 series, and the roster increased in count as the company released further DLCs.

In addition to the included cast, one could also create their own custom character with special abilities, outfits, and accessories earned through the story mode.
