More gameplay videos for "Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2" have been released, showing off some of the characters joining the roster of the highly-anticipated fighting game.

Unsurprisingly, Goku and Future Trunks were there. Gogeta, Super Janemba, Time Patroller and Lord Slug are confirmed as part of the "Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2" lineup.

The first trailer for "Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2" also revealed that there will be tons of villains included in the roster. Some of them are Zarbon, Dodoria, Cooler and Turles.

Future Gohan and GT Kid Goku, who was only a downloadable character before, is now officially part of the "Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2" lineup as well.

According to Capsule Computers, "Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2" will keep all the characters from the first game, even Mira and Towa, the villains in "Dragon Ball Xenoverse."

Although not playable, a character in the likeness of DJ Steve Aoki, who is making a remix of some of the most iconic "Dragon Ball Z" songs, will be featured in "Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2."

Apart from new characters and a bigger roster, fans can also expect Super Saiyan 3 transformation in "Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2."

Since it is the latest and more powerful one that has ever been achieved, being able to get into this form will certainly make the battles more fun.
