During the Summer Game Fest 2024, Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero received a confirmed release date. The game will be available to play on Oct. 11, 2024, on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.
In the trailer, we see plenty of iconic Dragon Ball universe characters, from Piccolo to Frieza. Based on the snippets in the latest debut and the official page, the game will follow along with the franchise’s classic storyline. This includes one of the most beloved arcs with Dragon Ball Z’s Cell Games saga. We also got a look at Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero pre-order bonuses showcasing exclusive Gogeta and Broly forms. However, one playable character still remains a mystery.
Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero will continue on the fan-favorite Budokai Tenkaichi series. It will carry on the gameplay of past iterations, only this time in the modern gaming age. You can essentially think of Sparking! Zero as the fourth installment of Budokai Tenkaichi.
The last time we saw a BT entry was back in 2007 with Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 3. Given that it’s now 2024, a new entry has certainly been a long time coming. It will also be very different from its predecessor with its online play, where players can test their skills against other Dragon Ball fans.
Mark your calendars for Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero’s Oct. 11, 2024 debut. It’s currently available for pre-orders and offers Standard, Collector’s, and Deluxe Editions.
