JOJO’S BIZARRE ADVENTURE: EYES OF HEAVEN is developed by famed Japanese video game studio, CyberConnect2, creators of JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: All-Star Battle, the hit NARUTO SHIPPUDEN: Ultimate Ninja STORM series as well as many other fan-favorite franchises.

Utilizing a unique two versus two style of gameplay, players will be able to select from over 50 characters, each with their signature attacks that fans of the series know and love. Characters are divided into specialized fighting styles, giving hints to the type of attacks characters may use along with specific strategies players must employ when in the midst of battle. Styles can include summoning a spirit to fight alongside the player’s character, harnessing energy to perform powerful attacks, fighting on horseback and more. Players with an understanding of how each character operates will be able to tactically fight alongside their partner as they lay waste to their opponents. This is especially critical in the game’s four-player mode that enables two teams to battle each other in online multiplayer matches where communication and teamwork will be a key factor to achieve victory.
