Dragon Ball Project Releases in 2025

Dragon Ball Project: Multi – A 2025 MOBA Launch

Beta Testing Concludes

The multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA) game, based on the beloved Dragon Ball franchise, is slated for a 2025 release, as recently declared on its official Twitter (X) account. While a precise launch date remains unconfirmed, the Bandai Namco Entertainment title is poised to arrive on Steam and mobile platforms. The recent regional beta test concluded, with developers expressing sincere gratitude to participating players for their valuable feedback. This input will be instrumental in enhancing the game's overall experience.

Developed by Ganbarion (renowned for their work on One Piece game adaptations), Dragon Ball Project: Multi offers 4v4 team-based strategic gameplay. Players will command iconic Dragon Ball characters, including Goku, Vegeta, Gohan, Piccolo, Frieza, and many more. The game's description highlights character progression throughout matches, empowering players to dominate opponents and bosses alike. Extensive customization options, encompassing diverse skins and unique entrance/finisher animations, are also promised.

The MOBA genre represents a departure for the Dragon Ball franchise, traditionally associated with fighting games (like the upcoming DRAGON BALL: Sparking! ZERO from Spike Chunsoft). While initial beta feedback has been largely positive, some concerns have been raised. Reddit comments indicate a simplified, shorter MOBA experience, likened to Pokémon Unite, although the gameplay itself is considered enjoyable.

However, criticism has surfaced regarding the in-game currency system. One player cited the "store level" requirement tied to in-app purchases as overly grindy and potentially manipulative. Conversely, other players have expressed overall positive sentiments towards the game.
