Dragon Ball Project: Multi – A 2025 Debut

The multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA) title, based on the beloved Dragon Ball franchise, is slated for a 2025 release, as declared via its official Twitter (X) account. While a precise release date remains unconfirmed, the Bandai Namco Entertainment published game anticipates availability on Steam and mobile platforms. The recent conclusion of regional beta testing saw the developers express sincere gratitude to participating fans, highlighting the valuable feedback received to enhance the game's overall appeal.

Developed by Ganbarion, renowned for their work on One Piece game adaptations, Dragon Ball Project: Multi offers a 4v4 team-based strategic experience. Players can command iconic Dragon Ball characters, including Goku, Vegeta, Gohan, Piccolo, Frieza, and many more. The game's description emphasizes character progression, stating that heroes gain strength throughout matches, enabling players to overpower opponents and bosses alike. Extensive customization options, encompassing various skins, entrance animations, and victory poses, further enhance the gaming experience.

The MOBA entry into the Dragon Ball universe has generated significant interest among fans, especially considering the franchise's established presence within the fighting game genre, exemplified by the upcoming DRAGON BALL: Sparking! ZERO title from Spike Chunsoft.

While the beta test yielded generally positive feedback, some players have expressed concerns. Reddit comments highlighted the game's simplicity, comparing it to titles like Pokémon Unite, while acknowledging its enjoyable gameplay. However, criticisms also surfaced regarding the in-game currency system, with players citing the perceived necessity of in-app purchases to progress and unlock characters, leading to feelings of excessive grinding. Despite this, other players have voiced their enthusiasm for the game.
