PDF died, translated press release:
An innovative fighting game in the “Dragon Ball” series with “2.5D” graphics
“Dragon Ball Fighters”
Available worldwide in 2018!
Bandai Namco Entertainment (Main office: Minato-ku, Tokyo; president: Ooshita Satoshi) are launching the action game “Dragon Ball Fighters” in early 2018, for Playstation 4, Xbox One, and Steam, and featuring new “2.5D” anime graphics. This game, the latest in the series of “Dragon Ball” home console games, will be developed worldwide as a full-fledged “Dragon Ball” fighting game.
This current project is a genuine fighting game that distinguishes itself from previous entries in the “Dragon Ball” series. Its development is being handled by Arc System Works, who have handled numerous 2D fighting games that have won acclaim both in Japan and overseas, thoroughly recreating in-game the look of the “Dragon Ball” anime beloved around the world. You will be able to enjoy the world of “Dragon Ball” by experiencing battles overflowing with realism; it’s like an anime that you can move yourself.
Battles utilize 3-on-3 team fights, and you can enjoy strategic tactics such as mastering character affinities and building teams. In addition, this innovative fighting game incorporates the thrill of high-speed battles and flashy special attacks people have come to expect from “Dragon Ball”.
It is currently in development so that you can enjoy the world of “Dragon Ball” with new graphics. Please look forward to it.
Hiroki Tomoko comment:
This game has turned into a “2.5D battle” combining 2D anime presentation and 3D solid presentation. In recent years there have been many “Dragon Ball” games where you fly around through 3D space, so the reason for bothering to choose 2.5D is because there are some things only it can express. Although at first glance it looks just like 2D animation, since it’s made in 3D the camera can move to different angles, allowing for a wider range of expression and introducing many unique productions that are impossible in only 2D or 3D. I am sure that all the players will be able to experience “Dragon Ball” battles that feel like an anime they’re running in real time. Look forward to “Dragon Ball” battles you can only experience in this game.

Always wanted this. Piccolo mains we in here
Arc System Works is generations behind Dimps. the Xenoverse series is superior.
Dragon Ball Fighters is just cheap obsolete cash grab nonsense, with garbage roster, no character creation, and not even providing 1/4 of the freedom, immersion, community and customization the Xenoverse games have.
Dragon Ball Fighters is an example of the stagnation of the genre and franchise. the series itself should not be confined to 2D/2.5D either. there’s already too much Street Fighter clones and SF variations as it is.
it doesn’t matter how “balanced”, technical and competitive Dragon Ball Fighters is, it’s still trash obsolete selection, and limiting.
the Xenoverse series is breaking limits, and Arc System Works makes a leap backwards for the franchise. so lame of them.
As long as Juuhachigou (Android 18) gets in, I’m satisfied. Regardless, I’m very happy that this is even coming out.

immersion,
Yep, we’re all gonna be really sad we didn’t get to see AlphaOmegaSin and Smegeta’s original do not steal characters.

Xenoverse is fucking trash. t. someone who bought both games and has sunk countless hours into both of them.
Great…Affinity’s in here…and now it’s going to use its own time to shill its own games.
In. Already paypal’d, and mailed a check to Arcsys.
If the game has decent gameplay, then it has a really strong chance of dethroning MvC as a staple.
Niggas fuck with marvel but DBZ is bae.

Yeah, people talk about brand loyalty? You know what beats brand loyalty? Childhood fucking nostalgia.
Negativity is not allowed in this thread.
Chiaotzu better be in as a grappler
embed fail.
I see nothing but great things coming from this game.
I’m just so happy we’re finally getting a legit DBZ fighting game. I’ve been waiting for this for awhile.
Wonder how they will do transformations. I see meter gauge on bottom. Level 1 = Ssj1, Level 2 = Ssj2, ect.? So would cost 3 meters for Ssj3?
I just need Guldo and a mid tier Krillin to make this preorder happen. There’s no chance I’m not going to buy it, though.
Curious about the roster size. Since it’s 3v3, I would think the roster would be on large.

There won’t be any in-game transformations.
truendymion:
This is a 2D fighter?
From what I understand not entirely. I’d like to be wrong though.
