'Jump Force' Update: Version 1.04 Balances Characters and Adds New Costumes
The latest update for Bandai Namco's Jump Force i s out and brings with it more costumes to purchase and character balances to a handful of the fighters.
Version 1.04 rolled out Thursday night and Friday morning. While it's not as significant as the last update that brought shorter load times to the game, it's still good to see that Bandai Namco is trying to make Jump Force better post-launch.
The Jump Force roster includes 40 characters, and the latest update balanced only five of them. But players who use those characters often can expect to see some significant changes.
Ichigo Kurosaki from the Bleach series is arguably one of the best characters in Jump Force - taking the top spot on early tier lists - but version 1.04 nerfed his support attack. Instead of launching two attacks, Ichigo will now only perform one, giving opponents a better chance to counter.
Ryo Saeba, Gon, DIO and Shiryu were also affected by the latest Jump Force update in a variety of ways. If you want to check out the details on what was changed, check out the full patch notes for Jump Force version 1.04 below.
