JOJO'S BIZARRE ADVENTURE: Eyes of Heaven Trial out now in HK PSN.

Not exactly a deal, but fighting games lovers are getting a new option to play today as JOJO'S BIZARRE ADVENTURE: Eyes of Heaven demo is out now for PS4 on HK PSN. The game is ought to be released for PS3 and PS4, but as for now only PS4 got the demo. And since we don't have a PS4 yet, we don't know how this game will play. So we are just going to leave a link to the game demo page here:

PS4 JOJO'S BIZARRE ADVENTURE: Eyes of Heaven demo 573MB Japanese Only

At 573MB the game is pretty light, so if you have a PS4 and looking for something new, why not try this game.


Here is some description about the game pulled from HK PSN:
This is the trial version of the stylish tag JOJO action game JOJO’S BIZARRE ADVENTURE: Eyes of Heaven from the JOJO’S BIZARRE ADVENTURE comic series which is popular across generations. The game is expected to be released in 2015!! So get a feel of the sensation now with this application.

Unfold the dream tag battle with the popular characters across various parts of the world!!
The unique capabilities of the JOJO series will reemerge in a free moving solid space while you enjoy the strategic battle experience by combining forces with different partners and battle stage & gimmick elements that are familiar with the original comic series!


And the description from Wikipedia:
The game was first announced in the January 15, 2015, issue of Famitsu and featured characters returning from JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: All Star Battle, such as Jotaro Kujo, Noriaki Kakyoin, Caesar Zeppeli, and Josuke Higashikata (from Diamond Is Unbreakable), but also revealed the introduction of new characters Rudol von Stroheim and Diego Brando.[1][2] Voice actors from All Star Battle as well as the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Stardust Crusaders anime adaptation will reprise their roles in Eyes of Heaven. The game's genre is 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), referring to its tag team style fighting. Eyes of Heaven has no set release date, but a demo was revealed at the 2015 Jump Festa on December 20, 2014.

Apparently, no release date about the full game, so getting this demo is the earliest way to taste the game.
