Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot has been out for quite some time now, and given the slow rate at which it is releasing DLC, players are ready for something new. In terms of Dragon Ball Z games, it isn’t very clear what will come next. At the moment, three series dominate the world of Dragon Ball games, those being Xenoverse, FighterZ, and as of this year, Kakarot. It seems there are a number of potential options for the next DBZ game, but the real question is which of these choices is most likely to happen, and which would fans like to see more.
The current era of Dragon Ball Z games began in 2015 with the release of Dragon Ball Xenoverse. This was a title that took a very different approach to the standard Dragon Ball game formula, a change that fans appreciated at the time. The Xenoverse saga continued to expand in 2016 when Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 released, but has since subsisted off add-on content. Two years later, Dragon Ball FighterZ came out, taking fans back to the traditional 2D fighting style of DBZ game but in a much more polished and stylistic way. Finally, 2020 marked Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot‘s release, a truly story focused game.
The obvious place to start when guessing at what comes next for Dragon Ball Z games is a sequel. Of the three series currently running the show, Xenoverse is definitely next in line for a sequel. Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot is simply too new at this point and still hasn’t even ran the course of its season pass. The only way a sequel could be made would be to focus on Dragon Ball Super content, and that’s already been added in the form of DLC. Likewise, Dragon Ball FighterZ is still releasing new characters and growing.
Dragon Ball Xenoverse 3 on the other hand is long overdue, and Xenoverse 2 can only tide fans over for so long. There are a lot of improvements to the game that could be made in a sequel, and fan support for this would likely be overwhelming. Given that it has been four years since the release of a Xenoverse title, it wouldn’t be surprising to see the game on next gen consoles. Of course, the fact that Xenoverse 2 will be released on PS5 is slightly concerning, but doesn’t rule out a sequel in the future.
Though a sequel to any of the aforementioned games would be welcomed by fans, the best thing for Bandai Namco to do would be to release a new game altogether. Dragon Ball FighterZ represents one of the cleanest and most polished combat system of DBZ games, while Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot is by far the most in depth look at the show’s story. Finally, Xenoverse 2 provides players with way more customization in terms of character appearance and moves. Combining all of these things into one could create an amazing Dragon Ball game.
It may also be best not to make a Dragon Ball Z game, but to make a Dragon Ball Super game instead. Despite the Dragon Ball Super anime concluding in 2018, its content is still always retained for DLC purposes. Many fans desperately want a standalone Dragon Ball Super game, and with the introduction of the multiverse there are nearly endless potential stories to tell. A Dragon Ball Super game could take Kakarot‘s approach, telling Goku and Vegeta’s story precisely, or it could follow in the footsteps of Xenoverse, perhaps allowing the player to create a character as the member of the Galactic Patrol. At this point the possibilities truly seem endless.
Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot is available now on PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
