World Overview

The setting and premise of the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure series across all six parts — Phantom Blood through Stone Ocean.

Note:

This describes the setting and premise of the wider JoJo's Bizarre Adventure series that the game draws from — not a walkthrough of the game's specific story, which isn't public yet. We'll revisit this page once the game's own narrative framing is known post-launch.

Part 1 — Phantom Blood

Set in Victorian-era England, this part follows the rivalry between Jonathan Joestar and his resentful adopted brother, Dio Brando, as Dio's ambitions take a dark supernatural turn. It introduces Hamon, a life-energy technique used to fight back against otherworldly threats.

Part 2 — Battle Tendency

Decades later, Jonathan's grandson Joseph Joestar faces an ancient, powerful lineage of beings far older than human history, forcing a new generation to master Hamon under very different stakes.

Part 3 — Stardust Crusaders

Joseph's grandson Jotaro Kujo leads a journey from Japan to Egypt to confront a resurfaced old enemy. This part introduces Stands — manifestations of a person's inner fighting spirit — which become the series' signature power system going forward.

Part 4 — Diamond is Unbreakable

Set in the quiet town of Morioh, Josuke Higashikata and friends uncover a hidden threat living among their neighbors, blending everyday small-town life with mounting supernatural danger.

Part 5 — Golden Wind

In Italy, Giorno Giovanna works his way up through the ranks of a powerful organized crime organization, aiming to reshape it from the inside out.

Part 6 — Stone Ocean

Jolyne Cujoh, wrongfully imprisoned, must uncover the truth behind her situation and a larger conspiracy connected to her family's past, all while confined within prison walls.
