“Extra Pack 2” includes four new playable characters: Fu (a thus-far-unused character originally developed for Dragon Ball Online), Son Goku (Ultra Instinct), Jiren, and #17 (Dragon Ball Super ver.). Additionally, the pack includes five new parallel quests, eight new skills, and eight new Super Souls along with mentor team-ups and new “Tokipedia” gameplay routes. The pack retails for US $9.99 individually, or with the first “Extra Pack” as the combined “Extra Pack Set” for $16.99. The game’s two “Extra Packs” are not covered by the game’s original “season pass” and must be purchased separately.
The “Anime Music Pack” — originally released in Japan as the “Anison & BGM Pack” — retails for US $14.99 and contains music from the original Japanese version of the franchise’s television series and films. The pack was also made available today for Dragon Ball FighterZ at the same price point; the packs are separate purchases, and no discounts appear to be available for purchasing both a la their Japanese rollout.
