We all saw a small teaser for Budokai Tenkaichi 4 not long ago, but today, during The Game Awards 2023, Bandai Namco unveiled Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero as the new game of the series. After the last game launched for PS2, players were hoping for a new entry for any of the past consoles. It seems the developers heard our prayers because this new game is coming to next-gen consoles and PCs. The release date window for this title is unknown, but fans can wait a bit longer to experience one of the best fighting franchises out there.
Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero is Coming to PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC
If you didn’t know, back in the PS2 era, Dragon Ball: Budokai Tenkaichi 3 was one of the best fighting games ever from this legendary anime franchise. It included the Dragon Ball, Dragon Ball Z, Dragon Ball GT, and movies in a game, and one of the biggest character rosters ever. So, you can see why this news is huge for so many fans, especially now with more material out there like Dragon Ball: Super and its latest movie.
According to the official information, this game will use the next-gen hardware to its fullest, pushing the boundaries of fighting and arena destruction. It’s still uncertain which characters will make it to Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero, but since the original developers are working on this, our hopes are high.
While you wait, Dragon Ball: Xenoverse 2 is still going strong, with a huge update on the way. Many have found a home in this game, but some are ready to move on. Hopefully, the new Dragon Ball fighting game will keep us entertained for years to come. Luckily, Bandai Namco has always launched some great fighting games that work as a live service, so we can expect the same for this one.
