Dragon Ball Z news: New DBZ Action RPG in the works

Fans of the Dragon Ball franchise have been anxiously awaiting a game that's not a fighting game for years now. While the latest title, Dragon Ball FighterZ, has been very well received, both by critics and players alike (we like it, too), it's still a fighting game. How long are we going to have to wait to enjoy the adventures of Goku, Gohan, Vegeta, and... you know... all those other guys, in a different genre?

Well, according to the Twitter account of the DBZ games' publisher, that wait might not be very long at all. (Or, it could be really long, when you consider delays and setbacks and things like..... you know what? I'm just going to keep going.) [H/T IGN]

Under the working title "Dragon Ball Game Project Z" it will be a "New [g]ame focusing on the [w]orld of Dragon Ball Z." As the graphic indicates (and as we've stated a couple of times now), it will be an action RPG - although, considering the source material, martial arts combat will probably make up a large part of the "action" part.

While no other details have been announced yet, the tweet did state that more will be announced during the finals of the Dragon Ball FighterZ World Tour in Los Angeles, January 26th and 27th.

Speaking of Dragon Ball FighterZ, the announcement tweet also made mention of a new addition to the fighting game's roster. Only identified as "the Warrior from Universe 11", some fans are speculating that it could mean Jiren. Which, I'm going to have to take their word for it. I haven't watched DBZ since I was in college and that was, like, forever ago.

About the author

Kevin Christopher Sullivan has been writing online professionally since 1999, which makes him probably older than you. He's written for sites such as Uproxx and Austin.com. He's also performed stand-up comedy, attended Butt-Numb-A-Thon and E3, and owns some pretty cool t-shirts. He lives outside of Austin, TX with his wife, daughter, and four annoying cats.

Gaming since the Atari 2600/Commodore 64 days, his interests vary wildly. He is just as likely to be playing a JRPG one moment, then to move on to a game like Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth, and then, suddenly, decide to play Fortnite. Most likely, though, he's probably playing Marvel SNAP, even if he IS pretty crummy at it.
