In America and Europe, the game will launch 14 October 2022 across all platforms.

Regarding PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series S|X support, a European Bandai Namco news post clarifies that the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One versions, “…will be compatible with PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S,” respectively.

Three different versions of the game will release across the various territories:

• Standard Edition: A digital edition of the base game. The Standard Edition will retail for $19.99 (US MSRP).
• Special Edition: A physical edition of the base game, as well as a “Special Edition Pack” with a customizable costume, a two-handed victory pose, and a yellow dragon vehicle skin. The Special Edition will retail for $29.99 (US MSRP)
• Limited Edition: A physical edition of the base game, the aforementioned “Special Edition Pack” contents, a steelbook, a 9cm Cell shell husk figure, as well as a “time exclusive bonus” from the Bandai Namco store of a green Potara earring in-game cosmetic item. The Limited Edition will retail for $79.99 (US MSRP).

For all editions, a pre-order bonus includes a “Transphere” (temporary character transformation) for No. 18 with the Wall Kick skill, as well as a blue scouter accessory.

Closed network tests will take place in early August, with lottery sign-ups available across the American, European, and Japanese territories.

Developed by Dimps, Dragon Ball: The Breakers puts a small group of seven survivors up against a “raider” in an asymmetrical race to survive, in a world shared with Dragon Ball XENOVERSE 2.

The “Standard Edition” of the game is currently available for pre-order via Amazon and other retailers, while the “Limited Edition” is noted to be exclusive to Bandai Namco’s own online store.
