Forums - Gaming - Dragon Ball Fighters announced for PS4, X1, and PC

I still have hope for a switch version, I think they havent announced now because of xenoverse 2.

2.5D fighting game due out worldwide in early 2018.

Bandai Namco has announced Dragon Ball Fighters, a new 2.5D fighting game for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC developed by Arc System Works (Guilty Gear) and due out worldwide in early 2018.

The game uses a three-versus-three team battle system, allowing players to determine the compatibility between characters and form a team of fighters. It will incorporate the “ultra high speed battles” and “flashy moves” that the Dragon Ball series is known for.

According to producer Tomoko Hiroki, while Dragon Ball titles of recent years have been 3D, they chose 2.5D this time because there were some things that can only be done in that style. While it looks like 2D animation at first glance, it has a broader range of expression as they can shift camera angles and incorporate a lot of unique production not possible in 2D alone.

It should be noted that the press release for this announcement is dated June 12, meaning that Bandai Namco accidentally shared this information ahead of its official reveal. A backup of the press release is available here. The official Japanese website will be available here when the game is officially announced.

This has been the DBZ fighting game I've been hoping for. The mugen joint was the closest to my dream DB fighting game. This one will definitely be up my alley. It's made by Arc Systems (phenomenal with their Blazblue and GG games), so I have faith it will be stellar. First day buy for me.

Well we may see a Switch version. I wouldn't lose hope. Xenoverse 2 is coming to Switch. There would be no reason this game shouldn't come to Switch.

I loved DbZ as a kid and love Super now (really like Dragonball too), but every time I play one of their games, including Xenoverse, I just feel let down by how bad they are.



I'm surprised they chose xb1 over Switch. Surely it would sell more on Switch then xb1.

Anyway good to see the series live on.
