Most of the Dragon Ball Z games of the past have been fighting games, focusing on letting players go one-on-one with their favorites from the anime series. But the action RPG game formerly known by its development name Project Z has gotten its official title, Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot and new trailer premiered at the Microsoft E3 2019 press conference. The game looks to be taking fans of the series and players of the game through an action RPG story featuring Goku.

From the trailer that debuted, it looks that Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot will at least cover from the beginning of the Dragon Ball Z series all the way through the Frieza saga. That's not to say that the game may cover much more of the anime series, but those reveals will likely come later as the game gets closer to launch.

The trailer starts with a quote from the writer and creator of Dragon Ball Z, Akira Toriyama saying that this game "brings the Dragon Ball universe to life" and promises a "deep dive into the world," which, if that proves to be true, could be the dream Dragon Ball Z game that fans have hoped for. While past games in the franchise such as Dragon Ball FighterZ have been a success, they tend to be arena fighting games and limited in some ways in that regard as far as having a more open world.

Despite some games like Xenoverse 2 adding some MMO elements, they felt added to that same fighting game formula. Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot may be the first game to really let fans explore the world, putting them in the shoes of Goku, and letting them move around the well-known locations of the series more so than the fighting arenas (no matter how vast some of them have been) of the past Dragon Ball Z games.

Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot will release Early 2020 for PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
