Bandai Namco has announced that Risotto Nero, one of the primary antagonists of JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: Golden Wind, will join JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: Last Survivor as a new playable character. Specifically, the character will be added to the game in an update on September 8, 2021. [Thanks, Famitsu!]
As a character obsessed with strategy and tactics, Nero’s skills revolve around sneaking around and attacking enemies from afar using ranged throwing knives and invisibility. Using his stand Metallica, he can gather metal particles from the air and create up to five knives to throw at other players all at once.
Risotto Nero can also turn completely invisible from other players. The ability will not prevent him from making detectable noise, though. However, the skill does prevent homing abilities like Kira Yoshikage’s Heart Attack from following the player. Nero can also revive other players while staying invisible. Additionally, Nero will automatically recover health over time if he has taken damage, though the skill will not carry over while cloaked.
His ultimate ability allows Nero to infiltrate opponents’ bodies with Metallica, just like in Golden Wind. By transforming the person’s blood iron content into sharp objects, Nero can drastically decrease opponents’ movement speed. The ability also applies damage over time.

Previously, Bandai added DIO (Greatest High Version) to the game and included his signature “Road Roller” attack from Stardust Crusaders.
JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: Last Survivor is available to play now in Japanese arcades. Risotto Nero will appear in the game on September 8, 2021.
