A Japanese YouTuber uploaded two videos with new photos of the back of a JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: All-Star Battle R box. The box art displays four officially unrevealed characters from Part 5: Vento Aureo. Bandai Namco will be releasing a trailer for Part 5 characters later next month.
The official Japanese website for the game already accidentally revealed Trish Una and Prosciutto in two screenshots when the game was announced, leaving only one more unknown character. Thus, most fans speculated that the remaining character might be Leone Abbacchio or Risotto Nero given their popularity and relevance.
However, the characters revealed in the box art leak are Trish, Prosciutto, Pesci, and Ghiaccio. It is currently unknown whether Pesci is a separate playable character, but he is most likely part of Prosciutto’s moveset due to the previous trailer only showing three slots left.
Trish is a main ally in Vento Aureo, whereas Prosciutto, Pesci, and Ghiaccio are antagonists from the Hitman Team (La Squadra Esecuzioni).
The YouTuber states that they saw this pre-order box at an ordinary game store. Amazon has an older version of the box art without the characters. Comparing both versions, the leaked art has characters shrunk and moved over. The in-game screenshot of Jolyne and Stone Free was also replaced with a new version using the Everglades stage.
Baoh (Ikuro Hashizawa) is excluded from the box, but he has already been officially confirmed to be playable. Assuming this is the final roster aside from DLC, there will be 51 characters in the game.
