Bandai Namco has revealed that Asta – the main character from the Shonen series Black Clover – will be a playable character in Jump Force. Asta will use his two demon anti-magic swords in battle and will also have his demon form as his awakening. Bandai Namco has also released some in-game screenshots of the character that you can see below.
Asta, the hyperactive Magic Knight from #BlackClover joins the JUMP FORCE team.
Feel the power of his anti-magic dual demon-swords and switch to his Black form to unleash the dreadful ultimate Black Meteorite!

With Asta being added into the game, there is a good chance that characters from other newer anime series like My Hero Academia could join the roster at some point. With Jump Festa right around the corner, I’m sure that even more characters will be announced. Jump Force will be released for the Xbox One, Playstation 4 and the PC on February 15th. Take a look at the previous character announcement of Rurouni Kenshin being added to the Jump Force roster.
