Jun Furuya Shares Gameplay Insights for Highly Anticipated Dragon Ball Sparking! Zero
Jun Furuya, the producer of the eagerly awaited Dragon Ball Sparking! Zero (DBSZ), recently divulged some exciting gameplay information, sparking even more anticipation among fans. With the game's release slightly over three months away, the excitement is palpable, as evidenced by over 1,000 fans eagerly waiting for the character trailer premiere on Bandai Namco's YouTube channel.
In an interview with Nishikawa-kun of Famitsu, Furuya clarified that DBSZ is designed as a fighting action game rather than an eSport title. "I want you to think of it as a fighting action game where you can play Dragon Ball," Furuya stated. He emphasized the game's appeal lies in allowing players to perform iconic moves and actions themselves, providing a deep tactical experience without sacrificing the balance necessary for enjoyable online battles.
Unlike eSports titles that prioritize fairness between characters, DBSZ focuses on character personality, potentially leading to some overpowered characters. While Furuya has kept character information under wraps, the prospect of characters like Dragon Ball Super Broly being incredibly powerful in the hands of skilled players adds to the excitement.
The game's development benefits from not being bound by strict adherence to balancing for competitive play, allowing developers to create a more authentic Dragon Ball experience. Furuya's description of DBSZ as a 'Let's Play Dragon Ball' experience, coupled with his promise of "deep tactics," suggests that fans can look forward to a game that combines the thrill of playing as their favorite characters with complex strategies to master.
The Dragon Ball Sparking! Zero character trailer is set to be released on June 26, providing fans with a closer look at the game. DBSZ is scheduled for release on October 11 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC. Fans are encouraged to stay tuned for more details and prepare for an exhilarating Dragon Ball adventure.
