DRAGON Ball FighterZ, which is set to release January 26,  is a game that Dragon Ball Fans have been waiting for. It’ll come with all new arenas, new combos, and some amazing characters from the Namekian saga to the TOP arc (Tournament of Power). It is going to be available on Playstation 4, Xbox One, and on Steam. Therefore, anyone can buy it and play it—so there is no excuse not to.

So far there about 20 confirmed characters including Androids 17 and 18, Super Saiyan Blue Goku/Vegeta, and regular Super Saiyan.  They are also adding Super Saiyan three Gotenks, and for the first time ever, they are finally adding Kid Buu. In the character trailer, he seems a bit overpowered for a form that does not really care about anything, but he still seems pretty fun.

Even though it is set to release on January 26, you can pre-order the game just like anything else these days.  The pre-order includes early access to Super Saiyan Blue Goku/Vegeta instead of waiting for a while to unlock them in the game. In my opinion, that’s the lazy way to get them, which is for players with no skill at all. Whatever makes the player happy, I guess.

Not much has been revealed about the storyline yet. However, we do know that it is set in Dragon Ball Super around the Future Trunks Ark.  It will include a new villain by the name of Android 21. Much is still unknown about how the storyline will play out, but it is expected to be quite interesting and filled with challenges and matches to make you go full-on tryhard. This should be pretty interesting and fun.

The game will go back to 2D fighting style, but with 3D character models.  Looking at the fights in the trailer, it seems kind of weird to have 3D character models fighting in that form at first, but I hope it works out later when the game actually releases. The fights still look pretty sick, especially the finishers or ultimate attacks—and you can tell they put a lot of time into designing them.

So far, most of the attacks and combos are still sort of unknown to most characters, but the character trailers introduce the better ones. I am personally looking forward to the story mode, and I really wish that they would release more information about the plot or at least what it is about. The story is really important for those of us who just want to play alone every once in a while.

All in all, Dragon Ball FighterZ seems like a game worth waiting for unless we are just over-hyping it like we did with No Man’s Sky, which ended up being an utter disappointment. So as long as the fan base does not expect too much from the game, I really do believe that it will be a pretty awesome fighting game. Especially with the classic 2D fighter aspect even though they are still 3D characters.
