Exciting updates for Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 follow the release of DRAGON BALL: Sparking! ZERO, promising new characters and content in upcoming DLC. The Future Saga continues with Chapter 2, introducing Universe 11 and a corrupted Jiren. Players can enjoy a new Gokû (Mini) for a limited time. Free updates include new quests and loading screen illustrations, but details are scarce. Anticipation builds for Chapter 3, with a glimpse of a ruined Conton City, leaving fans eager for more.
Exciting Developments in Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2
The recent release of **DRAGON BALL: Sparking! ZERO** has set the stage for a variety of characters to emerge in upcoming **DLC**, including some from the popular **DAIMA** anime. Meanwhile, **Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2** continues to thrive, with its longevity seemingly poised to extend well into 2025, especially as the **Future Saga** unfolds. Launched last May with **Chapter 1**, this new narrative arc introduced an exciting concept known as the **Ultra Super villain**, evolving from the previous **Super villains** and the **Berserker** mode.
For the reasonable price of €19.99, players gained access to five additional playable characters along with a wealth of new content, complemented by a free update. Despite some recycling of content, there was more than enough to keep players engaged. In September, the first teaser for **Chapter 2** showcased **Universe 11**, featuring the **God of Destruction Vermoud** alongside **Beerus** and **Champa**, as they prepare to face a new corrupted version of **Jiren**. As expected, this character and the new variant of the **Pride Troopers** will be included in the next **DLC**, along with **Gokû (Mini)** from **DAIMA**, introduced in October through a recent video.
New Characters and Updates
Interestingly, the addition of this new **Gokû** version seems to be unrelated to the ongoing storyline, serving instead to capitalize on the popularity of the **Dragon Ball DAIMA** anime. Players will be able to utilize his techniques, including the **Nyoi-bō**. However, the number of new features appears to be limited, raising concerns about whether **Bandai Namco** will maintain the same pricing structure, which could lead to player frustration.
It’s worth noting a small error in the French video that mistakenly states “Additional Techniques” twice, when the second instance should reference illustrations. Fortunately, the quick pace of the video makes it easy to overlook. The release date for **Chapter 2** is set for Thursday, November 21, ensuring a short wait for eager players.
Interestingly, there seems to be a lack of information regarding free content this time; however, the official Japanese site has revealed details about free update 19, which includes **Raid Quests**, Vermoud’s red-nosed wig, **Super Souls**, and 94 loading screen illustrations. It’s surprising that these updates were not highlighted in the video.
Additionally, **Gokû (Mini)** will be available for a free trial starting this Wednesday and running until November 27 at 3:59 PM. Players will have a week to enjoy this character, provided they have completed **Raditz’s Assault** in the main story. After the trial period ends, acquiring the **DLC** will be necessary to continue using him.
Finally, the trailer concludes with an intriguing glimpse of **Chapter 3**, revealing a devastated **Conton City**. Who or what could have caused this massive crater? Players will have to wait a few months for answers.
If you’re interested in diving into **Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2**, the base version is available on PS5 for €19.99 at retailers like **Fnac** and **Cdiscount**.
