Arc System Works will follow a similar approach to the story as we have seen in the two Dragon Ball Xenoverse games.

The game’s producer, Tomoko Hiroki told Red Bull that we will see a new approach in the plot altogether, which probably means they will ask one question: What If? There will also be post-launch content, although we don’t know what will come, which means even new characters are a question mark in the shape of DLCs.

Bandai Namco and Arc System Works also detailed two characters: Piccolo and Krillin. Quoting their press release, „Piccolo is considered to be one of the most technical characters with his expandable arm to grab his opponents. He has various ways to break the opponent’s guard, and he can also fire fast and powerful beams. Players can charge up for a stronger attack by long-pressing the button. To create a huge blow, Piccolo can use his ability to release Ki blast from afar or for an effective strike; players can even connect it with a combo move!

Krillin doesn’t have that much reach and power but easily compensates with several different techniques such as the Kamehameha to fight a long-range game. He can also skillfully confuse his opponents by leaving an image of himself before turning into an attack. Furthermore, players have the choice to use the famous Senzu Bean. Fans will also be delighted to know that his signature and blockable attack is also included in Dragon Ball FighterZ.

In the Online Battles of Dragon Ball FighterZ, players can fight and interact with other users in the FighterZ lobby. That’s the perfect place to rise to the arena stage and get matched with other users who are willing to battle! Players can also communicate with Z-Stamp, use facial expressions from Dragon Ball characters and watch their match with the replay mode!” Check out some images here.

Dragon Ball FighterZ will be out in early 2018 on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC. The closed beta’s registration will start on July 26.
