I'm honestly tired of 3D fighting games, would love to see Musou style game (Dragon Quest Heroes, Hyrule Warriors) set in early Dragon Ball. Eventually JRPG :)

Haha, Goku Vs Red RIbbon Army! Yes!

Might be fun... I have played Samurai and Dynasty Warriors as a kid and enjoyed the stories that kinda fit that era, altough with overpowered legendary warriors against whole armies.
But later, I have tried the Gundam Musou game and I don't know, it didn't fit the style and it was kinda weird and got really repetitive over time.

I would seriously love to explore something different than Z or Z with bits and pieces from Super that we get all the time.
I have already fought Freeza, Cell and Buu hundreds of times in my life.
I don't know how much Super can stand alone, being kind of direct sequel/continuation of Z and GT is kind of Star Wars Sequel Trilogy thing (people like it but not so much and it is overshadowed/disregarded by Super).

But, I would love the OG Dragon Ball again. I have enjoyed the Revenge of King Piccolo so much and been kinda pissed at the same time that the 23rd Tenkaichi Budokai was left out again. At least Kakarot should have recreated that with short DB recap before that, they already had the models! But nope, we get Goku in the woods having image battle with Piccolo with some monologue exposition, but I would the actual tournament recreated over fighting the pirate robots for 500th time and shoehorned into some silly story.
But it gets ommited all the time, from Z because it is part of Dragon Ball anime and from Dragon Ball anime because they have character models and mechanics for small Goku and it will be hard to change at in later parts of the game.

If we are getting a new game this year, we would probably hear about it by now. Both Fighterz and Kakarot came out in January afterall. I feel like we are not getting DB games in October-November like we used too.

I think we'll hear about the game next month on the 6th at that Dragon Ball Video Game event

7-9 months is a good amount of time to promote the game

Bandai announced a few games during E3 such as Jump Force, so that's a possibility as well. I do think however that battle hour has the highest chance of being where it'll be announced.

I have got e-mail from Bandai with title: Competition, announcement, rewards…

for Dragon Ball Games Battle Hour on 6th of March and there will be DB Legends, FighterZ and Dragon Ball Super card game.

Have no idea what the card game is, there will definitely be some DLCs announced https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JUtmq4oPg8g

So besides DLC, sure there is chance that they will announce a new game, anything might happen and this might be the best even for that.

The most obvious choice for a new game would be Xenoverse 3, although I’m not sure they’d be able to offer much in terms of new characters. I guess they could include Moro, but I assume they’d want him to appear in animated form first.
I honestly don't even know what a FighterZ 2 would even look like. I take it they won't do anything with the manga stuff until they adapt it in some animated form, and even then I think that's just DLC. FighterZ alone already has pretty much everyone you would want in a DBZ fighting game.
I agree. FighterZ has already provided fans with the competitive fighting game they’ve always hoped for, so I don’t see what new things a sequel would bring. Unlike the Tenkaichi and Xenoverse games, FighterZ is a fighting game first, and a fanservice game second.
all the tenkaichi games are fighting games though...

Yes, but they’re not concerned about being competitive fighting games that non-Dragon Ball fans can enjoy. They’re made purely for the fans.

Just because it's unconventional fighting doesn't make it "not competitive" or "a fake fighting game" the people that always talk about it like that have no knowledge of the game or its depth. Look up pandu vs zodo or jose vs pandu on youtube I guarantee you wouldn't be able to understand half of what's happening

What's the chances of a new game being teased tomorrow?

I personally think it's very likely, as this is close to the time that last 2 or 3 games got announced. It would be interesting if they brought Spike back into the development cycle.

Yes, as much as I don't really like spike I'm sure they could do a better job than what Dimps is doing right now.

I don't expect anything new from Dimps for awhile, as it seems like they still have a lot of plans for XV2.

On the English DB Games Battle Hour live stream, this guy said:

"Later, we will look into the past games and maybe dip a little bit into the Future as well....?"

Could be referring to the DLC announcements that happen in 10 hours or we might actually get a new game announcement.

The new game announcement can happen during the middle of the stream as there is a small intermission. :think:

I think a new game announcement is very likely, but mentioning the past is equally interesting. Could they start re-releasing older games on digital stores ?

I think they're just going to have a montage of the Dragon Ball games history but I would be down for that too.

All I really want to hear about is info on Kakarot's upcoming DLC and whether or not they intend to make a new game this year. Is it still worth tuning into the stream today or should I just check back tomorrow?

On a side note, why does Bandai always hire MCs/announcers that can't pronounce any of the character names correctly?

The Closing Ceremony that has the announcements is at 10 PM central time, I'll personally be sleeping at that time.

I'd wait till tomorrow, all that information will be there in the morning.

The only thing we know now is that the "World Flight" Kakarot thing was just a special cinematic for Battle Hour, so we don't really know anything about DLC 3.

I hope we get a new game announcement, I don't really care about many video games nowadays. I only care about Naruto, Dragon Ball and Kingdom Hearts games.
