The combat is vibrant and action-packed with a massive roster of over 160 playable characters you can fight as. With so many characters to choose from, the combat possibilities are nearly endless and you can freely switch it up as desired. This is also the biggest roster of any Dragon Ball game so far, which means there’s a lot of room to experiment and try different units out.

Every battle is intense and rapid, with various techniques and skills you can use to secure victory. It’s fast-paced and intense with colorful graphics, which truly gives an authentic Dragon Ball feel.

The Summer Game Fest 2024 trailer also highlighted some pre-order bonus items you can get if you decide to purchase the game ahead of its official release date. This includes six characters you can unlock early plus one mystery playable unit. It’s already available for pre-order even though the release date is still a bit away, so if you want to claim these items, you can do so at any point before it officially launches on Oct. 11.

When Dragon Ball: Sparking! ZERO is released, it will be available across a variety of platforms, including PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC through Steam. These are the only currently confirmed platforms, but it could arrive on more in the future.
