Released at the back end of April, JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: All Star Battle is set to be hit with its first tranche of DLC after Namco Bandai announced 3 new characters are winging their way to the manga-based fight-em-up. New to JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: All Star Battle? I’ve got you covered. Take a look at the below video and get yourself up to speed.
I’ve never seen JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure myself so I will leave it up to Namco Bandai’s propoganda machine to fill you in on the newbies:
Old Joseph Joestar (Chapter 3): A familiar hero returns, older but even more popular! Joseph, the protagonist of Part 2, returns at the age of 69. He’s Jotaro Kujo’s granddad. DIO’s revival after 100 years resulted in Joseph obtaining a Stand. His daughter has also been affected by DIO’s influence, but her Stand powers put her life in danger. Joseph, together with Jotaro, sets out on a journey to find and kill DIO, thus saving his daughter. Despite his age, Joseph has his wits about him and takes pride in his cunning.
Lisa Lisa (Chapter 2): The beautiful protector of the Red Stone was raised by Straizo, she became an able Hamon user and a teacher to Joseph and Caesar. In the first part of the series, her father was killed during the battle between Jonathan Joestar and Dio, and she was saved by Jonathan’s wife, Erina. She was the keeper of the Red Stone of Aja that the Pillar Men were after.
Ikuro Hoshizawa: A mere touch from him means death! A young boy infected by the powerful Baoh biological weapon created by the secret Doress Group. An accident during transportation leads to Ikurou escaping for his life along with Sumire, a girl with precognitive abilities captured by the Doress Group. When the Baoh Parasite is attacked, it takes over its host’s consciousness and covers its body in invincible armor by means of the Bao Armed Phenomenon.
Each character is a mere £1.59 in the PSN store and you can also grab the campaign mode pack right now for absolutely nothing. Smashing stuff. If you haven’t already, you can pick up your copy of JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: All Star Battle on PS3 right now.
