Bandai Namco has announced that Dragon Ball: Sparking! ZERO will be released on October 11, 2024, with pre-orders for the Ultimate edition granting three days early access. The game features a variety of modes, including a Custom Battle mode and a split-screen multiplayer mode exclusively available on the Hyperbolic Time Chamber stage. Players can experience classic story arcs, 'what-if' scenarios, and create their own battle scenarios. The game has been praised for its spectacle-filled fights, nostalgic punch, and cel-shaded visuals that closely resemble the anime. However, developers have confirmed that the split-screen multiplayer is limited to one map and the game is definitely not designed for esports.

The cel-shaded visuals in Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero are note-perfect to the show, and the animation equally helps sell the idea that you're looking at a pre-baked TV episode and not a real-time interactive experience. #IGNSummerOfGaming Our preview: https://t.co/dmJe1CWO7S https://t.co/CmG3W8y5xC
