Eyes of Heaven

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Eyes of Heaven (ジョジョの奇妙な冒険 アイズオブヘブン) is a 2 vs. 2 fighting game based on the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure franchise, developed by CyberConnect2 and released by Namco Bandai Games exclusively for the PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4. It was announced in the January 15, 2015, issue of Famitsu and was presented at Jump Festa 2015.

The game releases December 17, 2015.

Gameplay
JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: Eyes of Heaven is a fighting game described as Stylish Tag JoJo Action (スタイリッシュタッグジョジョアクション) with 2v2-tag team battles. Characters can roam freely on large 3D arenas and fight in big brawls using special abilities, as well as utilize air to air combat, stage gimmicks, and objects to their advantage, a bit similar to that of other CyberConnect2 well-known Shonen Jump game, Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm series. The Players can use Dual Heat Attacks and character combinations in battle, including combos from the series, as well as your own dream matchups!

Storyline
As of the current trailer, the game's original storyline will center around timeline and universal interferences within the JoJo universe, first seen when Rohan finds DIO's Diary which Jotaro had burned post-Part III. The story will also involve the Saint Corpse Parts.

The plot shown so far begins with the final battle between Jotaro and DIO at the end of Part III, as Jotaro defeats DIO as per the original story and burns his diary the following night. The plot of Eyes of Heaven then breaks off when a young Speedwagon stops Jotaro and Joseph at the airport on their way back to Japan shortly before Polnareff returns to them, claiming to have been attacked. The three subsequently encounter the thought-to-be-deceased Avdol and Iggy, who meet the group with hostility. After incapacitating the two, Jotaro, Polnareff, and Joseph are attacked by Kakyoin and N'Doul shortly afterward, who were also thought to have been dead.

Dual Heat Attacks
Dual Heat Attacks (デュアルヒートアタック) are cinematic team combo specials that can be activated once the Dual Heat Gauge is filled. Beta Gameplay from the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Eyes of Heaven Tournament suggests that DHA's can activated at least 3 times in a match.

Most DHA's consist of the secondary player attacking briefly, followed by the player who initiated the attack performing a cinematic move reminiscent of a HHA or GHA from All-Star Battle, with the exception of characters that did not appear in All-Star Battle. Some specific character combinations, however, have their own unique cinematic animations, usually recreating scenes from the manga or completely new scenarios. Teams with these types of DHA's are listed below:

Part I= Part II= Part III= Part IV= Part V= Part VI= Part VII= Part VIII= Josuke Higashikata & Joshu Higashikata: TBA Crossovers=

Stages
Stages in Eyes of Heaven are much larger in comparison to All-Star Battle, with massive and dynamic 3D environments; Stages have varying altitudes such as second (sometimes even third or more) floors, platforms of different heights, and hills, meaning battles can take place on slopes, stairs, or across wide gaps.

Much like All-Star Battle, most of the stages possess gimmicks, hazards, and situation finishers. When a Situation Finish is performed on the correct character and replicates the original scene, a colored manga panel is displayed.

Trivia

 * A demo was presented at Jump Festa 2015 with 7 characters: Joseph Joestar, Caesar Zeppeli, Rudol von Stroheim, Jotaro Kujo, Noriaki Kakyoin, Josuke Higashikata and Diego Brando. It was released afterwards on PSN for PS4 only.
 * Eyes of Heaven includes many playable characters who fans requested to see in All-Star Battle's roster, but could not be included in that game.
 * Unlike the previous game, most of the pre-Part 4 character's voice actors, default color scheme and clothing match their anime counterparts.
 * As for some post-Part 3 (except for Part 4) characters, only have their default color schemes changed, like Fugo and Hermes' default color scheme.
 * Some characters outside the anime, prior Part 4's anime debut were also recast as a result of their voice actors being used in the anime. Except for Pucci, whose previous seiyuu in All-Star Battle reprises his role as Vanilla Ice in the anime, and thus gaining a new seiyuu.
 * According to an interview with CyberConnect2's boss, Hiroshi Matsuyama, the game will have no paid-DLC and micro-transitions. Moreover, it was said that the story mode for Eyes of Heaven will follow an original story supervised by Hirohiko Araki.
 * In the Naples Station stage there is a sign displaying Araki's previous work, Gorgeous Irene.
 * This is the first official JoJo video game to feature an original character created by Hirohiko Araki himself, as well as the first game to have its whole/main story separate from the canon.
