Dragon Ball FighterZ took the world of fighting games by storm when developer Arc System Works translated the high-flying action of Dragon Ball Z into the prolific fighting game studio's signature style. The popular fighting game recently crossed the eight million units sold milestone and has seen multiple "FighterZ Pass" DLC bundles since the game's launch introducing fan-favorite characters like Broly, Videl, and Master Roshi to the game. Now, with a new form of Android 21 set to arrive tomorrow, Bandai Namco officially announced a new way for fans to play alongside her release.
Since its release in early 2018, Dragon Ball FighterZ has become one of Arc System Works' most popular titles, drawing on the rich universe of Dragon Ball Z and creating a chaotic fast-paced fighting game that serves as an homage to the long-running franchise. Many fans of Dragon Ball consider FighterZ to be among the best video games to come out of the IP, and the game sports a massive esports scene, making appearances at EVO multiple times. Now, Bandai Namco has teamed up with Microsoft to bring Dragon Ball FighterZ to PC Game Pass.
Bandai Namco's Digital Marketing Specialist John Liao made the announcement through the official Xbox website on Wednesday confirming that Dragon Ball FighterZ would be coming to PC Game Pass alongside Android 21's release tomorrow. The game was previously added to Xbox Game Pass last October exclusively for Xbox consoles but will now become available for PC users as well. The post also goes into detail about some of the game's mechanics from its 3v3-tag fighting system to specific techniques like the Super Dash.
The addition of FighterZ to Xbox Game Pass and the release of Android 21 is just the most recent in a steady stream of new content the game has received since its release four years ago. Android 21's release has caused fans to speculate that a fourth edition of the FighterZ Pass DLC may be on the way, with the previous FighterZ Pass finishing with SS4 Gogeta in March of last year. The announcement of a "special event" following the recent postponement of the game's World Championship Finals has also sparked rumors amongst the game's passionate fanbase.
As Dragon Ball FighterZ moves into its fifth year, the game has grown into a celebration of all facets of the Dragon Ball franchise. The three FighterZ Passes have featured not only fan-favorite characters like Broly and Cooler but also lesser-known characters from movies and side properties like Fusion Reborn's Janemba and several characters from Dragon Ball GT like Super Baby 2 and Goku's child form. Dragon Ball FighterZ has seen massive success throughout its lifespan and consistent support from Arc System Works will bolster its popularity for years to come.
Dragon Ball FighterZ is available now for PC, PS4, Xbox One, and Switch.
