Bandai Namco continues to add a variety of anime all-stars to its crossover fighting title Jump Force. The publisher has released screenshots () featuring another roster addition, Hunter x Hunter’s Meru𝓰em, who will be jo𝐆ining the roster sometime this fall.

Meruem, son of the Chimera Ant Queen, was the main villain of Hunter x Hunter’s “Chimera Ant” story arc. Initially callous beyond comprehension, Meruem dominated his fellow ant hive by destroying, even devouring, anyone who challenged his authority, strength, or ego. Meruem ultimately goes through a moment of clarity when he realises the spirit of humans, demonstrated by the will and integrity of a Gungi player named Komugi.

There is currently no video of Meruem in action in Jump Force, but no doubt we will be getting a trailer nearer to his launch date. It was recently announced that Jump Force is to receive a Deluxe Edition on August 28, bringing the ba🍷se game and its initial run of seven DLܫC characters to Nintendo Switch.

Jump Force is available now oꦆn PS4, PC, and Xbox One and will launch on Switch August 28.
