Hyper-stylized, multi-generational 3D manga fighter Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure: All Star Battle will bring equestrian combat and psychically-summoned spirits to North America and Europe sometime in 2014, Namco Bandai announced at its pre-TGS showcase earlier this week. The PlayStation 3-exclusive fighter was released in Japan near the end of last month and has “reached 500,000 sales,” according to producer Noriaki Niino (left).
When it does finally launch in western territories, the localized version of All Star Battle will be on par with the Japanese version’s character balance: “We are still making character adjustments – even in the Japanese version – based on the feedback that we’re getting from fans,” CyberConnect2 president and CEO Hiroshi Matsuyama (right) told us, when asked about the potential for future balance updates. “All of that feedback will be implemented in the overseas [version].”
