The Dragon Ball Sparking Zero release date has been revealed, and fans can expect a return to large-scale arena fighting reminiscent of the popular Budokai Tenkaichi series.
The next installment injects fresh energy into the Dragon Ball universe, focusing on epic clashes and a vast roster of playable characters.
Developed by Bandai Namco, Sparking Zero promises to capture the essence of past entries while offering a modern take on the fighting experience.
Players can expect intense battles that showcase the series’ signature power and speed, along with a deep selection of fighters to master.
What is Dragon Ball Sparking Zero?
Sparking Zero isn’t just a new fighting game; it’s a revival of a beloved gameplay style. The Budokai Tenkaichi series carved a niche in the Dragon Ball fighting game scene.
These titles boast one of the most extensive character selections ever seen in a fighting game, allowing players to step into the shoes of the iconic heroes and villains and a plethora of side characters and obscure fighters from the vast Dragon Ball universe.
Sparking Zero takes that philosophy and injects it with modern sensibilities.
Players can expect a return to the large-scale, 3D battlefields where they can unleash devastating combos, launch opponents through destructible environments, and experience the thrill of large-scale Dragon Ball battles.
