We have a new interview on Jujutsu Kaisen. The game has a new fighter out in Cursed Clash. A game that takes season 1 and makes into a fighter. Something that has happened to many other titles such as Naruto, My Hero Academia or the latest being Demon Slayer. The Producer for the game Misaki Kai sat down with Siliconera.com to go over how the developers went from anime/manga into a fighting game. You can see that below.
Jenni Lada: When did work start on Jujutsu Kaisen: Cursed Clash?
Misaki Kai:We have talked with Shueisha, the IP owner, for a while regarding the project, but the development itself took around two and a half years.
How familiar were you with the series before you started working on the game?
Kai: Personally, I was already a fan since it was still serialized in JUMP GIGA. I remember how happy I was as a fan when it was later serialized in Weekly Shonen Jump.
There are 16 playable characters in Jujutsu Kaisen: Cursed Clash. How did you determine who would and wouldn’t make it in for this first fighting game?
Kai: Of course, on top of the main characters like Yuji Itadori, Megumi Fushiguro, Nobara Kugisaki, and Satoru Gojo, we based our selection of the characters to whom have had major roles and battles in the series
How did Byking’s past experience with anime fighting games like My Hero One’s Justice and Ultra Rumble influence Jujutsu Kaisen: Cursed Clash?
Kai: For this game, we highly value how the characters are going to be represented in the game, and with Byking’s track record in making captivating character-based action in their previous entries, we believe that they have brought the best out of the Jujutsu Kaisen characters in Cursed Clash.
What kinds of gameplay elements did you include to capture the use of curses from the original series?
Kai: Each character has its own detailed settings and characteristics; therefore, we prepared special gauges for each character that would fit their characters’ traits. Taking that into account, indeed it took a little bit of time for us to find and adjust into the right game balance, but we hope that you’ll be able to experience unique fights in every character available in the game. Make sure to try every single one of them!
Which Jujutsu Kaisen character or characters did you want to bring into Cursed Clash, but didn’t make it into the fighting game? What would you like to do with them in a future game if a sequel does end up happening?
Kai: For me… it was Junpei Yoshino.
