Gameplay

Sparking Zero stays true to its roots! The gameplay we’ve seen so far closely resembles its predecessors. Players will choose from a vast roster of iconic Dragon Ball characters and clash in sprawling arenas. Battles will erupt from the ground to the sky, with fighters unleashing their signature moves to dominate their opponents.

Story Mode Confirmed, Split-Screen Out (For Now)

Sparking Zero will feature a story mode, though details remain under wraps for now. Trailers point towards the inclusion of popular sagas from Dragon Ball Z (Saiyan, Frieza, Android, and Majin Buu) and potentially Dragon Ball Super. Fans of fusion characters like Gotenks and Vegito can breathe a sigh of relief – they’re confirmed for the roster!

While local split-screen multiplayer won’t be available at launch due to complications with Sony and Microsoft, the developers haven’t ruled it out entirely. They’re aware of its popularity and may integrate it in the future.
