According to Deculture (Spanish, via auto-translate) CyberConnect2 boss Hiroshi Matsuyama said in a livestreamed video interview that JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure will be released in Europe. Matsuyama said last month that Namco Bandai was considering a localisation, but apparently sounded more certain this time. The PlayStation 3 fighter is based on a venerable manga franchise and has swum back into western consciousness recently thanks to the re-release of a classic Capcom fighter.

Thanks, chibisake.

Namco Bandai has announced a new PlayStation 3 game from Asura’s Wrath developer CyberConnect 2, based on the manga franchise JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure. All Star Battle was announced during a press conference about a new anime adaptation of the popular Shonen Jump series, and given the timing and tagline, seems to be the solution to the mystery teaser site which debuted earlier this week. The franchise has a cult following but hasn’t seen much localisation so don’t expect this one to turn up in the west.

Thank, Jamie!
