SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA – 6th November 2013 – NAMCO BANDAI Games announces today that one of the best-selling manga ever; JOJO’S BIZARRE ADVENTURE will be reaching Australia and New Zealand streets in 2014 (on PlayStation®3 only). With JOJO’S BIZARRE ADVENTURE: ALL STAR BATTLE, gamers will get a chance to experience an action-fighting game following the authentic Hirohiko Araki manga!

JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure counts the story of Jonathan Joestar’s cursed family; the manga covers the adventures of several generations and their Nemesis; each part of the series focuses on a descendant and has its fair share of belligerents.

Fans will fight with characters coming from all of 8 JOJO’S BIZARRE ADVENTURE chapters. Stylish and colourful battles against some of the most famous bosses such as DIO BRANDO, ENRICO PUCCI and much more await players.
