Jujutsu Kaisen Board Game Will Re-enact the Shibuya Incident

Shueisha Games revealed that it will release a Jujutsu Kaisen board game in Spring 2024. The game’s full title will be Jujutsu Kaisen: Jurei Tousou -Shibuya Jihen-. The subtitle could be translated to “Cursed Spirit Runaway – Shibuya Incident.”

As the title implies, the board game will re-enact the Shibuya Incident from the original Jujutsu Kaisen storyline. It will pit Satoru Gojo against the Cursed Spirits. The player who controls Gojo will be able to use powerful spells to crush the enemy spirits. The game will also have an optional mission where Gojo can rescue trapped people to unlock his domain expansion technique, the Unlimited Void.

Meanwhile, other players will be able to act as the likes of Jogo, Hanami, and Mahito. Their primary objective will be to run away from Gojo, who can exorcise them by simply landing in the same spot. Players on the Cursed Spirits’ side can win if they survive long enough for the mysterious sorcerer Geto to activate the Prison Realm and seal Gojo inside it.

Shueisha Games has also published a trailer for the board game on its YouTube channel:

Many new game adaptations of Gege Akutami’s popular manga Jujutsu Kaisen have been revealed in recent months.
