It’s finally here! Jujutsu Kaisen Phantom Parade is launching in Japan today. I remember covering the news for this game initially when it was up for pre-register, and to this day I’m still salty that I can’t play it! That said, if it is well-received, I’ll hopefully be writing news covering a Global announcement in the future.
Initially, Jujutsu Kaisen Phantom Parade was only available for pre-registering. In previous news, I mentioned the pre-reg rewards which at the time hadn’t reached all their milestones. Excitingly, they have now, so players who are logging in today for the first time can enjoy a bundle of freebies. The entire reward list can be found here for anyone curious.
There’s Always Drama!
Already, within hours of Jujutsu Kaisen Phantom Parade launching, the game has sparked debate on Reddit. Redditors are shaming the game for being another anime IP cash grab. While this seems to be a growing gaming trend recently, it can be argued that all gachas are cash grabs at heart given the nature of the pulls and games.
In a more positive light, with the Jujutsu Kaisen Phantom Parade game reaching 1.5 Million pre-registrations, players are awarded a guaranteed SSR ticket. Not only that, it has reroll value! Though the number of times the rerolls can be performed isn’t yet known.
On a personal note, I hope this game doesn’t fumble and become a disappointing anime cash grab that leaves a stain on the source’s name. The live 2D animations of JJK Phantom Parade are gorgeous and kind of feel like the manga brought to life. This, blended with voice-acted cut scenes and exhilarating fights, makes me believe that this was genuinely a passion project.
