DBZ fans everywhere are rejoicing as the new Dragonball game is almost here and you should be excited as well. According to official gameplay trailers posted days after the Summer Games Fest 2024 Showcase, The release date for Dragonball Z: Sparking Zero is currently set for October 11th. Releasing the game in late October works great as Christmas would be just around the corner.
So, where did the name “Sparking Zero” come from? Unless you’re a DBZ fan from Japan, you’re probably not familiar with the title of the new Dragonball game, but it shouldn’t hinder you from enjoying the action-packed gameplay. Regardless of the name change, DBZ fans should still be eager for Sparking Zero for no other reason than being the long-awaited, unofficial sequel to Budokai Tenkaichi 3.

Considering that Budokai Tenkaichi was released sixteen years ago, 2024 makes the most sense for Sparking Zero’s debut as DBZ fans have long waited for another exciting game. What’s even better? The original studio behind the Budokai Tenkaichi series, Spike Crunsoft, will be at the helm of Sparking Zero. With that announcement, you can bet the buzz around the game skyrocketed as soon as fans heard the great news.
Playing Sparking Zero on the current generation of gaming platforms will produce the best fighting visuals that DBZ fans would appreciate. Although sharing the same mechanics as Budokai Tenkaaishi, Sparking Zero’s “genre-defining” features will make it stand out by promising DBZ fans the best anime gaming experience ever.

If other promises surrounding Sparking Zero don’t add more even interest for DBZ fans to purchase the new Dragonball game, then that would be shocking. For starters, fans can gain access to playing Sparking Zero before its actual release date. In addition to early access, they can purchase a deluxe edition and a Season Pass as well.
What’s so special about the ultimate edition and Season Pass? You can unlock over twenty playable characters from the not-as-well-known series Superhero and Daima shows. Alongside the Season Pass, Sparking Zero will have exclusive content from the Deluxe Edition such as Super Shenron, Goku with his iconic power pole, and other valuable items.
The Trailer That Got DBZ Fans Talking
Remember early 2023? The teaser trailer for the rumored Budokai Tenkaichi 4 premiered at Bandai Namco’s Dragon Ball Battle hour. Besides showing graphically enhanced scenes from Budokai Tenkashi 3, the teaser didn’t give DBZ fans much to anticipate. Even worse? No release date release either! Yet, did anyone complain? Of course not as we were too in awe of our favorite characters’ powerful attacks shown on a big screen.
Months later, Dragonball Z: Sparking Zero would finally show its official trailer at the 2023 Game Awards, but was it worth the wait? DBZ fans would say so if their excitement seeing the epic clash between fan-favorite characters, Goku and Vegeta, in the Gizard Wastelands is evident. What’s more? Other legendary DBZ characters would join Goku and Vegeta in these wild brawls in various combat arenas.
What Makes the New Dragonball Game Special
Since Sparking Zero started as an unofficial sequel to the Budokai Tenkaichi games, it would share elements with those games. Particularly, DBZ fans can still battle it out on the ground and sky and whole arenas can be ravaged by these epic clashes. What’s more? Players can choose between 164 characters to battle against each other, outnumbering the last Budokai Tenkaichi game by only three characters.
Another element Sparking Zero took from the Budokai Tenkaichi series is their inclusion of non-canonical references. In their most recent magazine, Saikyo Jump revealed Goku’s Dragon Twin Fists technique. With that said, Sparking Zero may be the next Dragonball game to spark the interest of DBZ fans who prefer the shows and movies to buy the game themselves.
