Series fans are usually excited about all things Dragon Ball, and with Bandai Namco’s latest game Dragon Ball: The Breakers, we’ve been looking forward to frantic gameplay and multiplayer fun.

Dragon Ball: The Breakers release date

Bandai Namco has nailed down a final release date for Dragon Ball: The Breakers. The game will launch on October 14, 2022, the company announced.

Dragon Ball: The Breakers will have a physical and digital release on Switch. The Special Edition features the full game plus the Special Edition Pack containing a customizable costume, the “Two-Handed Good” victory pose, and the “Dragon (Yellow)” vehicle skin. The Limited Edition, exclusive to the Bandai Namco store, has the Special Edition content along with a steelbook, three Raider stickers, the Cell shell figure, and the “Potara (Green)” in-game accessory, which is a timed exclusive. All pre-orders come with the “Android 18 Transphere” and “Scouter (Blue)” accessory.

Here’s an overview of the game:

Dragon Ball The Breakers Bulma Oolong

Dragon Ball: The Breakers is doing something quite different for the franchise since it has you playing as “Survivors” like Bulma and Oolong or the “Raiders”, which include Cell, Frieza, and Kid Buu. Typically the Dragon Ball titles we’ve seen recap the series in an arena brawler or RPG format. The Breakers, however, is an asymmetrical action game where the Raiders try to hunt down the Survivors.

With such a different take on Dragon Ball games, it’s perhaps not a surprise that there was some uncertainty within the team initially. Producer Ryosuke Hara said in a recent interview that “the point was raised that fans might not want to play as comparatively weak characters like Bulma or Oolong.” In the end though, everyone “came around to liking the idea and gave us the go-ahead.”

Dragon Ball The Breakers story single player
