An older anime fighter is getting a refresh for the modern age withJoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: All-Battle R. Announced during today’s State of Play, this updated version revives the PlayStation 3 eraJoJo‘sfighter, with some new mechanics in tow.
JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: All Star Battle Ris a revamped version of the originalAll Star Battle, which debuted on the PlayStation 3 in 2013. It has a 3D art style and utilizes the same style as Hirohiko Araki’s from theJoJo’smanga.
Fighters include the earliest fighters, like Jonathan Joestar and Dio Brando, up to modern entries like Jolyne Cujoh. Yes, you can finally pit generations ofJoJo‘scharacters against each other.
With the re-release, Bandai Namco and CyberConect2 Co. say the fight system hasbeen completely revamped. Tools like hit stops and jump dashes should all change up the tempo. There are also some all-new battles to play out, and a bunch of collectible and customizable cosmetics.
All Star Battleis a deep but welcome cut into the annals of fighting game history. TheJoJo’s Bizarre Adventurefighting games have had a bit of a following in niche corners of the fighting game scene, and seeing them get a fancy new version ofAll Star Battleis rad.
Plus, with the recent release ofStone Oceanonto Netflix, the time seems right to kick up someJoJo’sfanfare. After watching someStone Oceanmyself, I’m interested in any fighting game with Jolyne and the crew.JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: All Star Battle Ris coming to PlayStation and Xbox consoles, Nintendo Switch, and PC this fall.
