It was not that long ago that Bandai Namco Games announced a release date of April 25th for JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: All-Star Battle for Europe and Australasia. Without a release date for the Americas, some fans on these continents may have grown a little worried. That has changed, however, now that Bandai Namco Games has announced that the game will come to the Americas April 29th.
North American fans will also be able to receive one of two DLC characters as part of a pre-order incentive, just like their European counterparts. The characters come from the fourth part of the series titled Diamond Is Unbreakable.

(It’s uncertain whether the same is true of Amazon.ca pre-orders.)

His encounter with the frightening Kira remains one of the most important twists in the 4th Chapter…
