Other manga properties Bandai Namco could use include My Hero Academia, Hunter x Hunter and Jujutsu Kaisen, and while those series are very popular right now, they aren't on the same sales levels as the ones mentioned above.
If the title being worked on isn't DBFZ-related, the most likely alternate candidates are: One Piece, Naruto, Demon Slayer (Kimetsu no Yaiba), JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, Bleach and Fist of the North Star. Working on a direct sequel to DBFZ where they already have mechanics, characters and a game engine to build on would be much easier on the development side rather than starting from scratch with a new property.ĭemon Slayer is receiving an arena fighter later this year in Japan, but the status of the new game doesn't put it in competition with the upcoming title Much of that came from the global brand recognizability of Dragon Ball that not many other manga properties can match at that scale.ĭragon Ball FighterZ also received multiple years of large-scale eSports support though we haven't heard anything about new content coming, which has many believing that Super Saiyan 4 Gogeta marked the end of DLC for the title. In 2018, DBFZ set the record at the time for the fastest selling Dragon Ball video game of all time by shipping over 2 million copies in a week upon releasing and has gone on to push over 6 million as of the end of 2020, making it one of the largest licensed fighting games of all time.
Well, Japan places those kinds of titles in the action game genre while the post states that the project is a fighting game multiple times.ĭragon Ball FighterZ received its last DLC character in March, and they haven't exactly said anything about the game sinceĪ sequel to Dragon Ball FighterZ is the most prominent choice as the identity of the title for multiple reasons though that doesn't mean it will ultimately be the game we end up seeing. "What makes us so sure this isn't going to be just another arena fighter like My Hero One's Justice or Jump Force?" you may be asking yourself. Unreal Engine 4 is also specifically mentioned as what the game will be running on, which both companies have been using for their fighting games for years now. "To those who enjoy a super famous battle manga from a certain publisher (it's a manga that everybody knows about)"Īrc System Works is the most likely candidate for the development studio as well following their work on Dragon Ball FighterZ and relationship with Bandai Namco.
