Dragon Ball Sparking Zero is off to a flying start after the completion of the first week of its global launch, but there are plenty more things to come.
In case you own the Deluxe or Ultimate Edition of the game, you’ll be able to access several additional content in the near future. Bandai Namco has already announced that there will be post-launch DLCs. While the Japanese studio hasn’t yet announced the exact release date and contents of those DLCs, there’s confirmation about the launch windows.
Dragon Ball Sparking Zero DLC release windows
As of this writing, the exact launch date for the future DLCs remains unknown. However, Bandai Namco has already confirmed the launch windows on Dragon Ball Sparking Zero‘s official Steam page. Based on the current plans, there will be three DLCs, and here are their release windows.
| DLC | Release Window |
|---|---|
| DLC 1 | Q1 2025 |
| DLC 2 | Q1 2025 |
| DLC 3 | Q2 2025 |
Unless there are further delays, I expect the first DLC to launch in January 2025, followed by the second one in March of the same year. The third one could launch in May/June, keeping a systematic gap between all three DLCs. Of course, this is just my own prediction and not based on any leaks/rumors from Bandai Namco.
Dragon Ball Sparking Zero DLC characters
Bandai Namco has remained tight-lipped about which characters will appear as part of the three future DLCs. It’s almost certain that Cell 1 and Cell 2 will be released in one of those DLCs as they have been part of promotional material. Moreover, there will be a strong influence of two sources on the upcoming characters – Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero and Dragon Ball Daima.
In fact, Goku (Mini) from Dragon Ball: Daima is already present in the game. I am expecting alternate forms of Gohan and Piccolo to be released as well since they were an important part of Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero. It’s too early to predict regarding Dragon Ball: Daima until we have access to at least a few more episodes.
If you don’t own the Deluxe or Ultimate Edition of Dragon Ball Sparking Zero, you can pick up the Season Pass separately for $34.99. If you go for a standalone purchase, it’s better to wait for now till Bandai Namco shares more confirmed information in the upcoming months.
