Sony & BANDAI NAMCO's Jump Force Game is Interestingly Marketed

— February 20, 2019 — Tech
The new Jump Force game for PlayStation 4 is soon to be released by Sony Interactive Entertainment and BANDAI NAMCO Entertainment. The product is an engaging and immersive venture into the world of three of anime's most celebrated characters — Naruto, Goku from 'Dragon Ball Z' and Luffy from 'One Piece.'

The Jump Force game is marketed in a highly interesting and attention-captivating way in the Shinjuku Station Metro Promenade on the Tokyo Metro Marunouchi Line. Three holes — about 15 meters in length, have been delved into the wall. Each one is the supposed aftermath of each character's signature move. This includes Goku's 'Kamehameha Wave,' Naruto's 'Rasengan,' as well as Luffy's 'Gomu Gomu No Red Hawk.’
