A Jump Force open beta will be kicking off pretty soon for Xbox One and PS4 and you’ll be able to play with a pretty big chunk of the roster. This particular open beta is going to give you some of anime’s biggest names to scrap with; 17 of the game’s characters will be available to play. You’ll get the chance to battle it out on five of the game’s stages. It’s not the entire game, but it’s a significant amount of content, one that should give you a pretty good idea of what to expect from this upcoming anime crossover game.
The five stages that you’ll be able to play will include Hong Kong, Matterhorn, Mexico, Namek, and New York. There have already been a dozen or so stages revealed thus far and most of these are pretty regular locations. In fact, the only special location from these franchises is Namek, the home planet of Piccolo and his Namekian brethren.
