New Dragon Ball-Themed Online Multiplayer Game Revealed, Titled Dragon Ball: The Breakers

Bandai Namco has lifted the lid on a new Dragon Ball-themed online multiplayer game they have been working on titled Dragon Ball: The Breakers. It is set to be an eight person
multiplayer title and is described as an online survival action experience which is set in the popular Dragon Ball Xenoverse universe. You can read all the details which Bandai Namco has shared below about the upcoming game and also watch the trailer below which gives you a glimpse of what to expect once Dragon Ball: The Breakers launches on consoles and PC in 2022.

 

DRAGON BALL: THE BREAKERS consists of 7v1 matches where seven normal “Survivors” have been sucked into a mysterious phenomenon called the “Temporal Seam” and must contend with the overwhelming power of the eighth player, the franchise iconic rival “Raider,” whose task is to obliterate the Survivor team. The Survivors don’t have any superpowers and must rely on various power-up items, weapons, and pilotable vehicles to battle and evade the Raider while searching for the Super Time Machine to escape oblivion. Concurrently, the Raider will be able to play as Cell, Buu, or Frieza and amass overwhelming power to destroy the Survivor team throughout the match, ensuring complete dominance. 

 

DRAGON BALL: THE BREAKERS also features a Survivor character customization mode which enables players to design their match avatars by using familiar DRAGON BALL Survivor skins and decorative equipment earned with in-game credits or via optional in-game purchases. Additionally, DRAGON BALL: THE BREAKERS will link save data with DRAGON BALL XENOVERSE 2. Stay tuned for more updates in the future. 

Enter the temporal seam. Will you match as one of the 7 survivors or with you take the role of the rival Raider?

According to a recent tweet from the company, after seven combos with a specific hit count (10 hits for the one-star ball, 30 hits for the three-star ball) are performed during the match, Shenron will appear to grant one player one of four wishes. The next player to land a combo will get the wish. That player can then choose to have their current character's health bar fully restored, revive one of their allies with half health, gain an additional Sparking Burst charge, or become immortal, restoring half their health and gaining auto-restoration for their energy gauge.
