At the end of its Anime Expo 2023 panel, Bandai Namco announced it is working on Jujutsu Kaisen: Cursed Clash, a 2v2 fighting game based on the anime and manga. There’s no release date for it beyond “coming soon.” However, a first trailer did appear. It also confirmed it will show up on the Nintendo Switch, PS4, PS5, Xbox, and PC via Steam. That same video also noted creator Gege Akutami wrote an original story for it.
You can see the full Bandai Namco Anime Expo 2023 Summer Showcase below. The trailer for the Jujutsu Kaisen fighting game comes up at about the 46:30 mark. The footage begins with Yuji Itadori expressing his motivations for fighting. We then see him attack Nobara Kugisaki. It then fades back to show that Yuji is fighting alongside Megumi Fushiguro, while Nobara has Satoru Gojo beside her. While only those four playable characters appear in the initial footage, the art at the end also shows Toge Inumaki, Maki Zen’in, Panda, and Ryomen Sukuna.
This announcement comes ahead of a new season of the anime. On July 6, 2023, that will air. Crunchyroll will offer a simulcast and dub of it.
Jujutsu Kaisen: Cursed Clash will come to the PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox, and PC “soon.” The anime can be found on Crunchyroll, while Viz Media handles the manga.
