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, JoJo no Kimyou na Bouken: Aizu Obu Hebun) 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, Sutairisshu Taggu JoJo Akushon) 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, Dyuaru Hīto Attaku, DHA) 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:
- Joseph Joestar & Caesar Anthonio Zeppeli: Starts off with them attacking from both sides with a series of Ripple-charged punches and kicks from Joseph and an array of Ripple-infused bubbles from Caesar, before Joseph invites Caesar to initiate the Positive/Negative Overdrive they used on Suzi Q to save her from from Esidisi's control.
- Joseph Joestar & Lisa Lisa: TBA
- Jotaro Kujo & Noriaki Kakyoin: Kakyoin holds the opponent in place with Hierophant Green, allowing Jotaro and Star Platinum to pull them in by Hierophant Green's tail and unleash a barrage of punches that sends them flying. Kakyoin appears once more behind the enemy mid-air to deliver an Emerald Splash. Throughout the whole attack, Jotaro and Kakyoin converse about Sumo, referencing the events in the Wheel of Fortune chapters.
- Jotaro Kujo & Jean Pierre Polnareff: Jotaro and Polnareff summon Star Platinum and Silver Chariot and take turns attacking the opponent. Star Platinum follows with an uppercut, and the two of them pummel and stab the opponent respectively.
- Jotaro Kujo & Joseph Joestar (Part 3): TBA
- Joseph Joestar (Part 3) & Muhammad Avdol: TBA
- Jean Pierre Polnareff & Iggy: TBA
- Josuke Higashikata & Okuyasu Nijimura: Okuyasu has The Hand bring their opponent closer by eliminating a wide space in front of them, leaving them staggered. After Josuke and Okuyasu briefly share comments, The Hand and Crazy Diamond pummel their target with a dual Stand barrage followed by a joint uppercut that sends them high into the air.
- Josuke Higashikata & Koichi Hirose: Koichi has Echoes ACT 2 place SFX of Crazy Diamond's Stand Cry ("DORARARA!!") directly under the opponent's feet. He then prompts Josuke to attack, watching as he jumps high into the air until he is directly above the opponent. Crazy Diamond then stomps down on them several times as the SFX activates, making artificially-made fists pummel the opponent from under and virtually sandwiching the enemy between the two.
- Josuke Higashikata & Rohan Kishibe: Rohan uses Heaven's Door to write within the opponent "Your Body Will Fly Forwards at 70 km/hr"; the opponent then flies right into a pummel of Crazy Diamond's fists.
- Josuke Higashikata & Joseph Joestar (Part 3): TBA
- Koichi Hirose & Rohan Kishibe: TBA
- Koichi Hirose & Yukako Yamagishi: TBA
- Giorno Giovanna & Bruno Buccellati: Buccellati and Giorno inform the opponent of their preparedness in unison before Gold Experience and Sticky Fingers pummel their target followed by a joint uppercut that sends them high into the air.
- Giorno Giovanna & Guido Mista: Mista unloads an entire clip at the opponent, each bullet getting redirected by Sex Pistols multiple times to hit them at different angles. Giorno subsequently appears from behind and jumps high into the air until he is directly above the opponent, proceeding to stomp down on them several times with Gold Experience, the final kick hitting with the impact to launch him off and create a shockwave.
- Narancia Ghirga & Pannacotta Fugo: TBA
- Narancia Ghirga & Guido Mista: Mista unloads an entire clip at the opponent, each bullet getting redirected by Sex Pistols multiple times to hit them at different angles; followed by Aerosmith unleashing an extended barrage of machine-gun bullets into the opponent, spearing and carrying them into the air as it's ridden by Sex Pistols.
- Jolyne Cujoh & Ermes Costello: TBA
- Jolyne Cujoh & Weather Report: TBA
- Johnny Joestar & Gyro Zeppeli: The two riding on horses, Gyro throws a Steel Ball while Johnny shoots a fingernail into the opponent, both infused with the Super Spin. As a result, Ball Breaker and Tusk ACT 4 punch and fly through the opponent's midsection as the power of the two Super Spins generate a massive energy explosion.
Josuke Higashikata & Joshu Higashikata: TBA
- Caesar Anthonio Zeppeli & Will Anthonio Zeppeli: TBA
- DIO & Dio Brando: Dio freezes the opponent as DIO pummels them with The World into the air, before Dio fires off a Space Ripper Stingy Eyes. DIO tilts his head to the side to avoid getting hit and watches as the beams obliterate the frozen opponent.

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.[1]
- 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.[2]
- 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[citation needed], as well as the first game to have its whole/main story separate from the canon.
