Dragon Ball FighterZ (Jan. 26)
Dragon Ball FighterZ has already garnered lots of attention due to its astounding visuals that nearly resemble an episode of the anime in motion. The cel-shaded look is a dead ringer for Dragon Ball, and Arc System Works has painstakingly created moves and combos for characters that are ripped straight out of the anime or manga. Of course, on a technical level Arc definitely has the chops to create a competent fighter, as they’re responsible for both the Guilty Gear and BlazBlue series.
FighterZ gives you a three-person team to fight with, and you can switch between them at any time along with the ability to use assists in combos. There’s a cancel system similar to what’s found in Guilty Gear, along with a whole host of new features and systems, like Come on Shenron, which allows players to collect all seven Dragon Balls by using specials and combos during a match. Then, once collected, they can summon Shenron and receive a wish that’ll boost their abilities.
Along with its multiplayer offerings, FighterZ will also feature an original story mode that introduces a brand-new character, Android 21. Goku, his friends, and the villains of the series will have to fight off an army of new super androids that resemble themselves. Dragon Ball FighterZ looks like it’s going to be a real treat and a must-have for fans of the series. With Arc’s pedigree, it’s something that fighting fans on PS4 will want to keep their eye on in the coming weeks as well.
