Fighting Vipers will be coming to PlayStation 4 — as part of Project Judge

Following up on the addition of a playable Virtua Fighter 5: Final Showdown in Yakuza 6, Sega’s Ryu ga Gotoku Studio is adding yet another classic fighter into one of their games. AM2’s 1995 classic Fighting Vipers is set to be playable in their upcoming Project Judge.

Fighting Vipers will be one of two classic arcade games (the other being Motor Raid) that will be playable in play spots in Project Judge. This marks the first time that Motor Raid has been officially playable on non-Sega hardware; Fighting Vipers has had digital releases on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, though. As was the case with Yakuza 6, Project Judge will feature complete builds of both games, playable in their entirety.

Project Judge launches on PlayStation 4 in Japan, Asia, and South Korea on December 13, 2018 followed by a western release sometime in 2019.

Bandai Namco wasn’t finished dropping JUMP FORCE news for today!

Following their reveals coming from Tokyo Game Show — and the news that a closed beta was planned for Japanese players — Bandai Namco is keeping the JUMP FORCE ball rolling with some details about the Collector’s Edition and Season Pass — as well as confirmation of a closed beta for the West.

Bandai Namco has confirmed that the game will launch with a Season Pass available — that pass will unlock nine additional characters, though the identity of those fighters is yet to be revealed, as is the price of the pass. Expect more details to come.

They have also indicated there will be a Collector’s Edition of the game, which will include:

  • Exclusive 30cm tall diorama statue of Luffy, Naruto, and Goku
  • JUMP FORCE software
  • Exclusive SteelBook case
  • 3 art boards

This edition will have an MSRP of $259.99 USD. Expect more information (as well as some images) to surface soon, as we draw closer to JUMP FORCE‘s 2019 release.

The works of Yoshihiro Togashi are celebrated through their addition to Jump Force.

Bandai Namco Entertainment isn’t finished showing off new content for the upcoming Shonen Jump brawler Jump Force yet. Yu Yu Hakusho‘s Yusuke Urameshi and Toguro were announced via a new trailer for Tokyo Game Show 2018. The two characters look fantastic in the game’s unique art style, and are shown battling on a new stage based on the real world Himeji Castle. The new trailer also gives the first look at gameplay for the recently announced Killua and Kurapika from Hunter X Hunter.

Bandai Namco Entertainment also released a trailer showcasing Jump Force’s original characters and their personalities. All four of these characters were designed by Dragon Ball‘s Akira Toriyama. To be honest, the characters give off a strong Dragon Ball Xenoverse vibe, with Glover echoing Time Patrol Trunks and Galena and Kane resembling Towa and Mira. Overall, the insectoid appearances of the title’s ANTagonists are really neat. It will be interesting to see how they all transition to the game’s engine.

The release window for Jump Force was also announced to be February 2019 for Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC. Pre-orders grant players 3 exclusive costumes for their custom fighters based on characters from One Piece, Dragon Ball, and Naruto, and Frieza’s pod as a lobby vehicle. The Collector’s Edition will feature a 30 cm statue of the title’s main three protagonists, a steel book, the season pass which includes 9 additional characters, and three art boards.
