Coming to us from the fine folks over at DIMPS and Bandai Namco, we get an announcement about the follow up to a game that has been a nostalgic throwback for me, Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2. Most importantly we see they are shooting for a winter release window of this year, just in time for the 30th anniversary of the franchise. The return of Dragon Ball commenced with Dragon Ball Online which began beta testing in 2007 and the 2008 special Son Goku and His Friends Return!! This built up to two movies and an entirely new anime Dragon Ball Super which they have quickly begun to mine for content for all of the new games being released. In this game, we seem to branch out to a larger cast including several more specifically from movies not included in the first, with a specific mention of Lord Slug. We are still dealing with the Time Patrollers dealing with attempts to alter the timeline. There is a new city. Conton City is the new main hub of the game. More sprawling then the first it will include Schools to train at, your obligatory shops and quests are available from here. It is said to be 7 times the size of the first game and will also allow for 300 simultaneous users to inhabit it at a time. It is also stated that each race will have different rewards now for missions. It is likely there will be a return of Earthlings, the Majins, Namekians, Saiyans, and Frieza’s Clan as playable race, it is unconfirmed if any other races will be added as of yet. There will also now be a local vs. mode and we are given estimates that the game shall run at a smooth 60fps on all platforms. As a personal favorite, more information will be added as we receive it.
