The release date for Bandai Namco Entertainment and Spike Chunsoft’s upcoming fighting game, Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero, has potentially been revealed.
Content creator SergioM3R claims to have discovered the possible release date for Dragon Ball Sparking Zero through a data mine of official data obtained via Bandai Namco Entertainment. The data also contains launch dates for several of the publisher’s other titles, including Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree and SYNDUALITY Echo of Ada.
The listed release date for Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree is slightly inaccurate. We already know that the expansion is set for release on June 21, 2024, and not the listed date of June 23. That said, these dates do appear to be accurate enough to give a rough idea of the actual release date. As such, it seems plausible that Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero will be released during the month of October. The date itself is likely placeholder, however. A similar placeholder date in the list can be seen for SYNDUALITY Echo of Ada, which is stated as December 1, 2024. However, once again, we’re likely looking at the accurate month of release.
In related news, it was recently revealed by Dragon Ball Sparking Zero producer Jun Furutani that the upcoming fighting game will not feature a split-screen local co-op mode. He further stated that this decision was not made due to development issues. Rather, it was due to issues related to Sony and Microsoft’s complicated certification process. The development team has been looking into a solution, but, for now, the game won’t include a split-screen co-op mode.
Furthermore, it was mentioned that characters from Dragon Ball GT will be included in Dragon Ball Sparking Zero, possibly in the base roster or as DLC. The game will also include fusions (e.g. Gogeta, Vegito, Gotenks). Additionally, the game will feature a full-fledged story that will be an evolution of the story mode from Tenkaichi 3.
