Anime and video games have a long and storied history. There are many, many examples of anime shows inspiring games or games inspiring anime adaptations. The latest anime to get the video game treatment is slated to be Jo-Jo's Bizarre Adventure.

If you spent any amount of time watching gaming YouTube, you probably ran across one or two of Pewdiepie's videos. If you did, you probably saw a reference to Jo-Jo's Bizarre Adventure. The much memed anime started as a manga series that ran from 1987 to 2004. From there, the manga was turned into the anime series that you can now watch on Netflix, which follows Jo-Jo's journey through life as an affluent Englishman in the late 1800s.

The news that the anime would transform into a mobile game came in the form of a press release from the companies that are developing the game. Developers KLab and Shengqu Games are partnering together to work on the online mobile game. This isn't the first time that Jo-Jo's Bizarre adventure has received a video game adaptation, but it is the most recent.

The mobile game is set to be distributed in Mainland China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Macau. Unfortunately, an English version has yet to be named and there is no news, as of this writing, regarding a western release. However, the language of the press release implies that an English version may be released, saying that the official English title is "undecided." If or when an English version is released, the game's online aspect could point to an MMO that is similar to Genshin Impact, though perhaps smaller in scope.

According to the press release, Shengqu games has developed over 70 mobile games and has attracted 2.1 billion registered users. KLab, on the other hand, was founded in 2000 and has ranked as one of the top-grossing 52 publishers worldwide on a consistent basis since 2012. The game has an official trailer that is live as of this writing. To access it, though, you'll need to head to a simplified Chinese language site and potentially create an account to view it.

Information on the game's development can be found on Weibo, China's version of Twitter, as well as WeChat.
