Sparking Zero isn’t just a new fighting game; it’s a revival of a beloved gameplay style. The Budokai Tenkaichi series carved a niche in the Dragon Ball fighting game scene.

These titles boast one of the most extensive character selections ever seen in a fighting game, allowing players to step into the shoes of the iconic heroes and villains and a plethora of side characters and obscure fighters from the vast Dragon Ball universe.

Sparking Zero takes that philosophy and injects it with modern sensibilities.

Players can expect a return to the large-scale, 3D battlefields where they can unleash devastating combos, launch opponents through destructible environments, and experience the thrill of large-scale Dragon Ball battles.
