Bandai Namco Entertainment began streaming a trailer on Thursday for the new “Super Limit Breaking NEO” DLC for Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero, the latest entry in the Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi arena fighter franchise. The trailer reveals the DLC will launch on July 30.
The video previews a new solo mode called Limit Breaker Journey, additional outfits, and new playable characters such as Chi-Chi and alternate versions of Goku, Tien, and Piccolo from the original Dragon Ball anime.
In Limit Breaker Journey, players select a character and strengthen them by traveling to various destinations to fight and level up. Characters consume stamina when moving, and starting a battle with lower health means lower stamina. Players can also gain more experience under harsher fighting conditions. The mode features “Battle Arts” that provide status enhancements, and a character’s improved strengths carry over to the game’s other modes.
A free update will also add “Sparking! Boost,” a new action activated by consuming a larger amount of Skill Stock, as well as “Chain Blasts,” which allow players to switch in reserve allies to continue attacks after an opponent is blown away.
The DLC includes 33 new characters, over 20 new customizable costumes and super attacks, four new stages, new Episode Battles for four characters, and more Extra Battles. New characters include King Piccolo, Mercenary Tao, General Blue, Android 8, Nam, Grandpa Gohan, King Vegeta, and Android 17.
The game launched in 2024 for PlayStation 5 and PC. Nintendo Switch 2 and Nintendo Switch versions of the game launched on November 14.
