JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: All-Star Battle R now has a release date. After the game’s announcement last March, Bandai Namco said we wouldn’t have to wait too long for the All-Star Battle sequel, and now we know just how long. JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: All-Star Battle R arrives on September 1, 2020, for PC users and September 2 for console players.
