So..Whats after Sparking Zero?

With the immense success of SZ, what could possibly come next or top it? Id love to hear your thoughts.

A 4v4 MOBA Dragon Ball game (Dragon Ball Project: Multi) will be released this year, probably in June or July. However, the final game title, release date, and supported platforms are yet to be announced and confirmed.

Maybe i should've clarified but I'm talking about a main console release.

I feel like it's time for Xenoverse 3 to be a thing.

Maybe they pull an Overwatch 2? Rename the game to Xenoverse 3, a massive overhaul of graphics, a new storymode & character races, new hubworld, etc.

Maybe they make it like Call of Duty where you can pick what version of the game you want to login to. Xenoverse 2's Conton City or Xenoverse 3's hubworld.

The expansion would be PS5/PC/Series X exclusive. Maybe Xenoverse 2 Last Gen can get some of the expansion content like characters & parallel quests but that's it.

I think FighterZ 2 is very likely at this point.

I wish we got a 1v1 centric FighterZ... At least make the HP for single characters bigger when you decide to battle that way.

If they balance HP/strength etc when choosing fewer characters, that could be an interesting angle for competitive FighterZ 2.

From what I've heard that will never happen due to the strained relationship between ArcSys and BN, this is just what I've heard though.

That's very unfortunate, but I guess it explains why FighterZ only got 3 seasons of DLC while other games got years worth.

I hope they work things out. FighterZ is by far the best Dragon Ball game in my opinion. I still play it to this day. And it was also very successful.

Arc System Works is the best fighting game studio.

Looking at their Wikipedia page, they haven't worked with Bandai since the release of this game back in 2018, which was 7 years ago. FighterZ was a critical and financial hit for both, so I don't see why their relationship went downhill. If I had to guess, I'd say the CEO's of both companies got in an argument over whether or not Kid Buu was stronger than Super Buu.

[BernardoCairo]

One could argue that the last time they worked with Bandai was actually in 2022 when the last DLC character dropped (even if that was mostly a bonus)...

[budokaifanatic007]

I think they should revisit the 2D/2.5D genre since FighterZ is not moving any further. Maybe a Budokai reboot? Would be very interesting to see what they could do with the current gen.

That's definitely happening considering Sparking Zero is the most financially successful game int he franchise.

They see that nostalgia sells, a Budokai reboot would bring major hype.

If it's not AT LEAST a new Butōden game, I don't see the point. We need a true replacement to FighterZ at some point. It's still going strong, but it's already 7 years old.

The people running this franchise seem to be allergic to making money, as they have zero idea how to capitalize on its success. Dragon Ball Super's final not only broke the internet, it broke the world...then it ended and never returned. A number of Daima's episodes crashed Crunchyroll's site due to the massive number of people watching, yet nothing has been announced regarding a follow up series. FighterZ is another great example of the franchise taking off, only for the companies in charge to just drop it for no reason. Xenoverse 2 can get 10 years of support, but fighterZ can't get half of that ?

[BernardoCairo]

I can understand the "lackluster" support for FighterZ, as competitive fighting games typically don't last that long. Even Smash Ultimate only had two seasons, for example. However, I believe a sequel is definitely long overdue.

I just want another game that implements the Dragon Universe mode from Budokai 3...

So many cool mechanics from the Budokai series that you don’t seen in modern DB games , we really need a reboot!
