Rudol von Stroheim’s arrival to the game comes after Bandai Namco’s recent success with the newest JoJo fighting game. At the 2022 Game Awards, JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure fighting game was nominated for Best Fighting Game but lost to Warner Bros’ MultiVersus. The PC edition of the game has also seen a thriving JoJo mod community, with players re-creating classic graphics from the anime and adding in characters such as Saul Goodman and the Joker.
The recent release of All-Star Battle R was accompanied by substantial changes for the series on the horizon. The anime version of JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: Stone Ocean has wrapped up as the franchise’s penultimate instalment before the Steel Ball Run universe reset. The ninth, and potentially last, instalment in the series will also be released shortly, with the JOJOLands manga beginning publication next month. As the long-running adventure seems to be coming to an end, All-Star Battle R pays respect to the series’ finest highlights.
