We had not seen a new installment for more than 15 years.
Although Dragon Ball is known for anime and manga, the truth is that we cannot ignore the fact that in video games they have also had their audience, whether they are good, bad or regular, Dragon Ball titles on different consoles have been a constant throughout all these years. However, despite the enormous success of Dragon Ball FighterZ, the truth is that There is only one king among Dragon Ball video games.
And it is that more than fifteen years have passed since it was launched on the market Dragon ball z budokai tenkaichi 3, which is considered the best video game ever made of the franchise, both for the content that it already came with as standard, being a game that brought together characters from all the Dragon Ball eras, and for how well done it was. And although today we have another class of tournaments in Dragon Ball, the truth is that the announcement that we have had during this morning will be the one that bring a smile to most of the fans.
Currently Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 4 is in development without confirming the platforms for which it will be released
Under this same premise, without giving any kind of prior clue and as an absolute surprise, Bandai Namcho has revealed the development of a new Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichiwhich will be the fourth installment of this popular sub-saga of 3D combat and which promises to live up to its legacy in view of the newly revealed trailer.
It should be noted that this announcement has been made during Dragon Ball Games Battle Hour 2023an event that, in addition to having a fairly long name, has been organized by Bandai Namco to focus exclusively on video games based on the popular franchise created by Akira Toriyama, in which we have also been able to see a Dragon Ball FighterZ tournamenta title that, despite being 2D, has been compared to the Budokai Tenkaichi due to how good it is.
It should be noted that, as you can see in the video that I leave below these lines, the new trailer began directly with old images of Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 3, being so that several of the characters present in this title and their transformations were shown. However, the surprise came when it was seen a graphic change following the previous art style in which we see Goku transforming into Super Saiyan Blue, one of his new phases that was not in the original game. You can take a look below:
Fans fear for DLCs and season passes that could be added to Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 4
Given this, it must be said that the reactions among Dragon Ball fans have not been long in coming, since at the time of its announcement it was possible to see that social networks have been filled with comments of jolgorio by many users who would be looking forward to seeing a new installment. And it is not for less, since, personally, Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 3 was too good. So much so that he left the record very high.
However, not everything has been joyous, since, seeing the current trends with fighting titles, there are already many who fear that Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 4 could be filled with DLCs that greatly diminish the experience, since, after all, the grace of the previous titles was to have a fairly extensive cast that allowed transformations and even fusions to be carried out in the middle of combat.
Be that as it may, we will have to cross our fingers so that this fourth installment of the popular sub-saga had at least a large part of the original cast, since the character roster spanned Dragon Ball, Z, the movies, GT, and even Dr. Slump. For the rest, it only remains to say that Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 4 is in development without confirming the platforms it will reachAlthough it is to be expected that, at least, we will see this future Bandai Namco title with versions for PS5, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S and PC, with a possible version for Nintendo Swich or its successor being in doubt.
