Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot is currently ramping up its first official DLC, titled A New Awakening (Part I: Whis' Training), that will see the players transcend the limits of Super Saiyan and become a Super Saiyan God. A few details are still iffy, such as its release date, but one recent change has caught plenty of eyes.
When its Season Pass was revealed, Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot contained two original story episodes and a new story arc. The former has now been clarified and phrased as "boss battle episodes" which fundamentally changes the way one should approach the season pass. Story episodes have different connotations than boss battles, but in the case of datamined Broly DLC, it may actually be a boon.
Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot's Season Pass
At first, many thought (following details of Beerus and Whis being in the DLC) that the original story episodes would be a sort of unique take on the classic Gods of the Universe saga. It turns out that it's more boiled down than that, with the boss battle episodes seemingly serving as more mechanic oriented content than story. As such, it's easier to plot out expectations. If Beerus is the first boss battle episode and it unlocks Super Saiyan God, there's a good chance the second Boss Battle episode will feature Golden Frieza as the boss battle and unlock Super Saiyan Blue.
That, boiled down in this way, only really leaves two possibilities for Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot's story arc. With the wording clarified and this unchanged, it definitely seems like this is another full-fledged story a la the the game's Z story arcs. As such, this could be a continuation of the boss battle episodes that introduces Universe 6 as DLC. That is incredibly unlikely, though, because of how much sheer content would need to be added in way of characters, locations, and more. This then bodes well for one data mine that revealed Broly's original movies would be DLC.
Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot and Broly
Namely, the inclusions necessary to translate the movies (both of the original ones) as a story arc aren't that much. The aforementioned Broly datamine included phrases and characters that seemed like they were from The Second Coming, and so it stands to reason the story arc could be shipped as a Broly arc that featured multiple fights with a plethora of characters. The time travel machine could be used to go back to this time, not to mention, the Family Kamehameha of Goku, Gohan, and Goten would be look fantastic in DBZ: Kakarot's graphics.
Symbollically speaking, it would also make sense to include Broly in Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot due to his obsession with Kakarot. The reason there may be lackluster, but testing identity of the characters in regards to name and what it means to be the "legendary Super Saiyan" would make a good fit.
Between the change, the datamine, and the amount of work in imagining anything else as a story arc could mean big things for Broly in Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot. Of course, there is plenty of content to pull from, including other Z story arcs and movies, but Broly seems like a safe bet with its current direction.
Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot is out now for PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
