This first DLC pack adds a new costume and three custom battles, but the main content is, of course, the 11 new playable characters. We've got Gamma 1, Gamma 2, Cell Max, and the four Super Hero-themed variants of Gohan and Piccolo. You can see them all in action in the trailer above.

Alongside the DLC, Bandai Namco announced on social media a new limited-time event called the Legendary Warrior Face-Off. "For a limited time, challenge yourself against characters with sky-high power levels. First up: Broly! During this limited time, we will conduct some tests to prepare for a second test later on. Power up and join the fight!"

Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero was released in 2022, and currently stands as the most recent Dragon Ball film. It's notably the final movie that series creator Akira Toriyama worked on, and the final piece of Dragon Ball media that Toriyama oversaw from beginning to end before his death in 2024.

Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero is one of the best-selling games in Bandai Namco history: "A nice surprise in a year that's been kind of rough overall," says analyst.
