'Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2' update: New characters confirmed; more choices for character customization system
Bandai Namco and developer Dimps are gearing up for the release of their game sequel "Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2." It's set to be available sometime later this year and fans who have played the first game are excited already to grab the successor. Fortunately for them, updates have surfaced to give them a heads up on what to expect in the upcoming fighting role-playing video game.
To start off, reports stated that the second installment will be getting new characters. This was based from leaked scans from a Japanese magazine confirming that the game will announce soon additional characters in the roster. One name that has been mentioned is Cooler, who is known to be the older brother of Frieza. He has appeared in the animated "Dragon Ball Z" movies and is seen in the scan in his base form and final form.
Other characters that are said to be joining in the 2016 game include henchman Zarbon and Jiece and Burter from the Ginyu Force. Previously announced characters were Turtles, the primary villain in the '90s film "The Tree of Might," and Future Gohan. Another change that gamers can expect is the character customization system. Game Spot detailed that the upcoming "Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2" will be coming back with more choices.
It is explained that the race the player has chosen for his character will be the determining factor to what locations they will be able to visit. For instance, Namekians will be able to reach secret places in Namek. Other races will be restricted to those areas though.
A new transportation system has been included as well. Players will now be able to speed around using a hovering machine. As for the player hub city, it is revealed to be now seven times bigger. It will be able to accommodate up to 300 players at the same time. Aside from that, everyone will have the ability to fly.
"Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2" will be available for PC, PS4 and Xbox One.
