JoJo All-Star Battle: Major Update!!!
13 years ago
General
A new scan has just been released revealing some exciting and shocking new info regarding the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: All-Star Battle.
New All-Star Battle Scan
Now with this scan there is a slew of information revealed. Various sites were checked for translations of the text and this is what can be discerned.
-Obviously Part 8's Josuke Higashikata with Soft & Wet has been revealed as playable. An interesting reveal considering "Gappy" has yet to show much of his battle prowess.
-The game's official box art has been shown.
-There is now a more concrete release date of August 29 of this year.
-In addition to the standard edition there will also be a limited edition at an unknown cost. The limited edition will include a statue of Jotaro and Star Platinum, a soundtrack CD and an illustration by Hirohiko Araki.
-People who pre-order the game or purchase a first print copy will get a real memo book fashioned to look like Hayato Kawajiri under the effects of Heaven's Door. They'll also receive a DLC voucher for Yoshikage Kira. This seems to confirm Kira as being playable also.
Now that last bit of info regarding Kira is concerning and can possibly complicate things for importers. The text seems to literally say "Kira Yoshikage download code" which is remarkably vague. The optimistic view is that this may be a code for an alternate costume. The other possibility is that Kira has been relegated to being a DLC character as incentive for people to adopt early which is certainly a possibility the way the current gaming industry operates. If the latter turns out to be the case this also raises questions about the potential roster. If arguably the second most popular villain in the series is DLC, what does that mean for other series antagonists?
Thankfully Namco Bandai Games is holding a press event this Saturday to show the game. Hopefully at this event some clarity will be brought to this Kira DLC enigma and with any luck we'll get a new trailer and more exciting reveals.
Stay tuned and we'll keep you posted as more is learned.

Even if there gonna be DLC characters, if you really want, you can easily buy them. Just create a Japanese PSN account, get some Japanese PSN cards(available online as downloadable codes) and you're good to go.
