No, there has been no official announcement or confirmation from Bandai Namco Entertainment or any related developers regarding a game titled Jump Force 2.
While an official sequel has not been announced, the concept of a follow-up to the 2019 crossover fighting game Jump Force is a topic of discussion among fans. This hypothetical game is often envisioned as:
- A Crossover Anime Arena Fighter: Similar to its predecessor, it would bring together popular characters from various manga series published in Shueisha's Weekly Shōnen Jump.
- A Direct Sequel: It would serve as a follow-up to the original Jump Force, which celebrated Shōnen Jump's 50th anniversary.
- Celebrating a Milestone: The conceptual game is sometimes tied to the celebration of Shōnen Jump's 55th anniversary, continuing the tradition of the series marking significant milestones for the iconic manga magazine.
The original Jump Force launched in 2019 and featured a wide array of characters in a unique 3D arena combat system. Despite its expansive roster and ambitious crossover premise, the game received mixed reviews. Its online services officially ended on August 25, 2022, and the game itself was delisted from digital storefronts in February 2022. The delisting of the original game makes the prospect of an official sequel less likely without new developments from the publishers.
