KLab plans to release the game worldwide outside of Japan in 2026.

The latest game in the franchise is JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: All-Star Battle R, a new version of the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: All-Star Battle fighting game. The game launched for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, and PC via Steam in September 2022. The game has since released two Season Passes with extra characters.
