Yuya Fungami, the latest DLC character for outlandish fighter JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: All-Star Battle R, has a release date.

The flamboyant motorcycle rider, who was announced earlier this month, will arrive on October 20th.

He'll be the second character to arrive as part of the game's new season pass, which began with Leone Abbacchio in September.

If you've purchased that season pass, you'll also get early access to Yuya starting on Wednesday, so make sure to head into the game and try him out if you're a season pass owner.

As you'll know if you're a JoJo's Bizarre Adventure fan, Yuya Fungami is a "really really ridiculously good-looking" motorcyclist with an arrogant streak.

Together with his Stand, Highway Go Go (inspired by both Deep Purple and new wave band The Go-Go's), Yuya begins as an enemy of Josuke's, before later reappearing as an ally.

In the new trailer for Yuya, we get to see his flamboyant fighting style, which combines elegant strikes with agility and grace.

Yuya is nothing if not honest.

There's one more DLC character to come as part of the second All-Star Battle R season pass, although we can't see the character's silhouette, so we don't know who it might be.

Previous DLC characters have included the aforementioned Leone Abbacchio, as well as Alternate World Diego, Keicho Nijimura, and Rudol Von Stroheim

If release timings for Yuya and Leone are anything to go by, then we'll probably get a glimpse at the new DLC character towards the end of next month.

Until then, you can grab JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: All-Star Battle R right now on PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo Switch, and PC.

It's a remastered version of the 2014 fighter JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: All-Star Battle, complete with new characters and stages, extra gameplay mechanics, and reworked single-player systems.

Many characters have also received new voiceovers, and some designs have been updated to reflect the popular anime.
