Summary
Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero’s producer, Jun Furutani, has revealed that there are only three DLC packs in the works right now and that they’ll be spread out across Super Hero and Daima.
From the moment that Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero was revealed, it had already broken the record forhaving the most playable characters in any game in the series by having a whopping 164 fighterson its roster.That ceiling was shattered earlier this week when Spike Chunsoft announced that the roster actually features 182 fighters(including transformations, of course).
If that wasn’t enough for you, then you might want to remember thatSparking Zero already has more than 20 additional fighters joining the game as post-launch content. We’ve only heard a little about this from an image of the Season Pass, but some more details have been revealed in a recent interview.
Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero Currently Has Three Planned DLC Packs
Earlier this week,IGN had the chance to chat with Sparking Zero’s producer, Jun Furutani, about multiple aspects of the game, ranging fromthe return (and upgrade!) of Chi-Chi’s commentarytosome less happy news about the difficulties surrounding crossplay. During the interview, IGN asked Furutani about the potential for more DLC characters to make the already huge roster even bigger.
In response, Furutani brought up the content that was announced to be included in the season pass and revealed that it’s three different DLC packs covering characters from Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero and Daima. This confirms that the packs will be split and gives us a firm number on the planned DLC so far.
So in regards to the characters, they have plans to release three DLC packs [covering characters from] Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero, and from DAIMA. So there’s three packs total from those two, Super: Super Hero and DAIMA, split into three basically. - Jun Furutani
Interestingly, though, it also suggests that Spike Chunsoft only has plans for those packs so far. Of course, it could just be keeping its card close to its chest, but IGN’s question was about DLC as a whole and Furutani’s response about there only being plans to release “three DLC packs” suggests that’s all that’s in the works right now.
Of course, if you’re a Dragon Ball fan then you’ll no doubt be expecting more to be announced in the future,as Xenoverse 2 has managed to be supported for eight years after its launch. To be honest, though, aside from OG Dragon Ball and a few sticklers like Super 17, there aren’tthatmany characters left to add, so just three being planned wouldn’t be that much of a surprise.
