Jujutsu Kaisen: Cursed Clash game release date, news & gameplay

If you’re into your anime, then you’ll know all about Jujutsu Kaisen. If you don’t, where have you been? It’s one of the most popular worlds in the entire genre. And this is the very first game based on the show to make its way to consoles. So, it’s a piece of gaming history!

You won’t have to sit down to marathon the series again before release though. We’ve rounded up everything you need to know right here. From the tag team battle gameplay to the release date and pre-order info. Let’s take a look…

What is Jujutsu Kaisen: Cursed Clash’s release date?

Like those iconic anime running animations, Jujutsu Kaisen: Cursed Clash rushes its way to PC and consoles on February 2nd, 2024. It’ll be here before you know it…

How much will Jujutsu Kaisen: Cursed Clash cost?

Luckily, the game won’t hit you in the wallet. It’ll only cost you 50 quid on PC, and £54.99 if you’re bagging the console version. Almost every big title out there at the moment is pushing the 70-pound mark, so you should get a real kick out of it for that price!

Prefer digital games instead? We’ve got you covered. Get a Steam Wallet card, PlayStation gift card, Xbox gift card or a Nintendo eShop card. Then top up your account and download it straight from their online stores. You won’t have to wait around for the postie to show up either.

Can I pre-order Jujutsu Kaisen: Cursed Clash?

You can pre-order your copy of the game on Switch, PS5 or Xbox Series X/S right here at Currys. And if you do, you’ll get the Jujutsu High First-Year outfit - an extra bonus costume for your fighters – chucked in completely free. Nice.

Jujutsu Kaisen: Cursed Clash platforms and crossplay

So, where can you play Jujutsu Kaisen? It’s more like where can’t you play it. The game launches on pretty much every platform out there. You can grab yourself a copy for PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X or Xbox Series S and Nintendo Switch.

And all of you last gen gamers don’t have to worry about missing out either. It’s still coming to PlayStation 4 and Xbox One too. Phew.

Unfortunately, it doesn’t look like there’ll be any crossplay at launch though. And that means you won’t be able to go head-to-head against your mates if you’re gaming on different platforms. Sorry!

How to play Jujutsu Kaisen: Cursed Clash?

Jujutsu Kaisen: Cursed Clash is an epic 3D action brawler. But unlike most other fighting games, you won’t be a lone wolf in the arena. Every scrap is 2-on-2 here. So, for the ultimate tag team, you’ll want to make sure your partner’s skills compliment yours. And watch each other’s backs!

You’ll combine your powers and abilities to unleash explosive joint attacks. And mixing up your duo with different characters will give you completely different results. There are over 15 Cursed Spirits and Jujitsu sorcerers to join forces with straight from the off. Meaning there’s loads of cool combos to try out and experiment with.

While you fight, every encounter gets even more intense. Each character has a Cursed Energy level, and this’ll start to increase as the battles heat up. The longer you survive, the more powerful your spells and moves are. So, stay alive for as long as possible. And if you still need an edge, a special Awakening Move can help to even the odds. But we’ll let you find out all about those when you get your hands on the game. They’re pretty spectacular…

How many hours of gameplay will Jujutsu Kaisen: Cursed Clash have?

We don’t have an exact number of hours to go on just yet. But with a story mode to get stuck into, plus a replayable online battle mode, it’s safe to say you’ll spend a bunch of hours with the game. Definitely more than the 22 hours or so that it’d take you to watch the series and prequel movie again!

Who are the main characters?

All of your favourite faces from the anime have joined the roster. Here are a few of the big hitters:

Satoru Gojo – as a skilful sorcerer, Satoru is a seriously powerful opponent. When he’s not busy beating people up, he teaches over at the Tokyo Metropolitan Curse Technical College. Just make sure you’re a quick learner, because you don’t want to get on his bad side…
Hanami – a Cursed Spirit with one aim – to wipe out the humans who have been abusing planet earth for thousands of years. In battle, Hanami is an absolute bruiser, using its sheer strength and plant-based abilities to brutalize anyone who gets in its way.
Nobara Kugisaki – she’s one of the most talented students over at the college. Wielding a hammer and a set of nails, Nobara does a lot more than a bit of carpentry. Any Curse she goes up against is going to be in for a world of hurt. It’s hammer time.

What are the different Jujutsu Kaisen: Cursed Clash game mode options?

There are a couple of main modes that we’ve got our eye on…

Story mode – relive some of the most epic moments from the anime and experience brand new storylines exclusive to the game.
Online multiplayer – face off against your friends and other fighters in over-the-top 2v2 battles. Or, if you can’t handle the idea of your mate bragging about their victory, you could just team up instead.

What Jujutsu Kaisen: Cursed Clash features are player customisable?

Don’t like the look of your combatant? As you play, you’ll unlock a whole wardrobe’s worth of crazy costumes. And these outfits switch up each character’s classic look, with nods to other parts of the show that fans will definitely appreciate. Oh, and there are face cards to collect too – letting you add your own unique stamp to your online battle profile.
