Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero is an upcoming fighting game for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S, as well as Windows, based on the Dragon Ball franchise.[1] It is the fourth installment in the Budokai Tenkaichi series following Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 3 (2007), and will feature both new and returning playable characters, forms, and stages, with the stages containing destructible elements.
The new title includes the majority of characters from Budokai Tenkaichi 3 and adds several characters from the Dragon Ball Super anime (2015–2018) and its film Dragon Ball Super: Broly (2018), for a total of 182 characters in its base roster, surpassing the 161 featured in the previous title. Future downloadable content will include characters from the film Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero (2022) and the anime Dragon Ball Daima (2024). Notably, the release of this game will mark the first time in Budokai Tenkaichi history where the Japanese name for the series, Sparking!, is used internationally.
Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero will be released internationally on October 11, 2024.
New gameplay features
[edit]The game keeps the core mechanics of the series, but new ones are added to better express the high-speed battles:
- Skill Count – A number that rises as you execute moves during the battle and is then spent to trigger special abilities.
- Short Dash – A technique that lets you move at lightning speed. This change opens up more possibilities such as dodging an opponent's attack with a short dash, unleashing a charged attack or even a Ki Blast while moving, or linking to a dragon dash to pull off a huge move in one go.
- Revenge Counter – A technique that lets you strike back while absorbing an opponent's attack. It is an action that enables high-speed attack and defense as seen in the original story where characters can launch an attack even while being hit.
- Super Perception – A counter command that lets you counterattack in anticipation of various attacks, even Ki Wave types of blast.
- Vanishing Assaults – A technique that lets you approach an opponent instantly and pounce. And the enemy will die.
