Yu-Gi-Oh! protagonist Yugi Muto is joining Jump Force’s roster, publisher Bandai Namco announced. The crossover marks the sixth manga universe to have a character added to the 2019 fighting game’s roster.
Bandai Namco elected not to reveal anything about what Yugi Muto’s in-game move set will be like, saying only that fans will have to stay tuned for more details at a later date.
For the uninitiated, Yu-Gi-Oh’s backstory involves a boy who loves to play a card game called Duel Monsters that’s a central part of the manga’s world. When Yugi Muto solves an ancient puzzle, he’s inhabited by the spirit of the long-dead Pharoh Atem, allowing Yugi Muto to transform into Dark Yugi in his hour of need and become an elite Duel Monsters player.
