It's trial, you can basically get them and use the characters until 16th of December as kind of demo.

Can you expand upon this? I saw some are 50% off, but that's about it.

BlazBlue Cross Tag is getting rollback netcode. This game came after FighterZ.

I'm not getting my hopes up since one's a 2d game which should far easier to do. But who knows?
Of course they would need the avail from Bandai which seems slim but at least ArcSys seems 100% in the rollback train.

World Championships are in January, if any news: rollback, FighterZ 2, another season pass etc... They will pop up there.

Do you think something could possibly get announced at Jump Festa?

It’s quite convenient that the 8 million(copies sold) free dlc campaign for Fighterz ends the day before Jump Festa. :think:

Man, at least the GT Shenron should be added to complement the GT Gogeta + dramatic finish and I will be happy and the roster will be complete for me 8)

I don't think so. Not the place for these types of announcements usually. If anything it should be at the World Finals in January.

Yeah it's a bit werid they would add Baby but not Omega Shenron who was the final villain. Omega would fit great. He has arguably the most diverse moveset in franchise with all the powers from other dragons.

Honestly FighterZ is popular enough that you could add the characters that most wouldn’t think would be received well by the player base & still be fine.

Omega should be added

Nova and Eis would be nice you could have their flame or ice attacks work similar to how subzeros does in MK. Instead of two Characters slots just have Eis Shenron be a sort of costume/pallete swap for nova (since they look exactly the same aside from skin tone) where the moves freeze instead of burn.

But If I had a choice rollback before any of this. Strive with rollback is killing DBFZ on the SteamCharts in active player base due to the crappy online netcode of FighterZ.

Rollback is more important than any character or content update.

There may be hopes as ArcSys recently went and added it to two of their recent games, Blazblue something-or-other and Cross Tag Battle. So all it comes down to now is whether or not Bandai Namco gives them the go-ahead to add it to DBFZ.

I would hope/think they would Bandai seems to have shifted gears into making most of their games try to last as long as possible.(I.e XV2) & Rollback has been a HIGHLY requested feature.

A bit surprised this was on the down low.

I wasn't expecting DLC much less an alternative version of the character that never appeared in the manga or anime...

I have two theories first: we're getting a Season pass focused on the new movie and #21 will be relevant there. Candidates for DLC are, one of the Gamma's, Pan(Super) and whoever gets a new form(Gohan?).

Second theory: a sequel is still far away but they want to milk the game some more. Using assets they already have with minimal work and occasionally squeeze a few bucks.

We'll probably get more news in January at the World Finals.

Whaaaat? Well, I thought she is kinda cool in Legends and XV without transforming to Majin, but honestly, I would take this character for free or as a re-skin if that is technically possible, I am not paying.

Not excited at all, unless she comes in a pack or pass with more interesting characters.

Hard to say about my most fav DB game, but zero excitement.

Maybe they are putting a new version of android 21 because she will be the main antagonist in the new super movie?

I'm with you there... don't think anyone asked for this. FighterZ does a decent job with making characters feel different though. Characters like Dabura or Tapion or Tao would've made my day.

I wanted Raditz but I suppose it's possible we're still going to get a new season pass

Don't know what's more surprising - Getting Android 21 base form after all these years or end up never getting new stages.

It should also have rollback netcode. The game is too popular to not have that but they seem to be saving that for the sequel, which is a shame because this game didn't need one anytime soon.
A world without Dragon Ball is just meh.

Lab Coat A21 should have been part of the main roster, not even S1 DLC. Is she going to be the first videogame character to move up the canonical ladder and end up in a movie, or even referenced? That could be a very good reason why to do this now.

I know people wanted her but everyone thought maybe it'd be a premium costume of some sort. Or less. Her model's already in the game. Maybe she fights with more science stuff and less copy attacks but shoot, this feels almost like it's out of desperation.
