Following a successful beta test, Bandai Namco's anticipated Dragon Ball MOBA, Dragon Ball Project: Multi, has revealed a 2025 release window. This article delves into the announcement and provides details about the game.
Dragon Ball Project: Multi: A 2025 Launch
The multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA) game, based on the popular Dragon Ball franchise, will arrive in 2025, as announced via the official Twitter (X) account. While a precise release date remains unconfirmed, the Bandai-published title is slated for release on Steam and mobile platforms. The recent regional beta test concluded, with developers expressing gratitude to participating fans for their valuable feedback, crucial for enhancing the game's overall experience.
Developed by Ganbarion (renowned for their One Piece game adaptations), Dragon Ball Project: Multi is a 4v4 team-based strategy game featuring iconic Dragon Ball characters such as Goku, Vegeta, Gohan, Piccolo, and Frieza. Character strength increases throughout matches, enabling players to dominate opponents and bosses. Extensive customization options, encompassing diverse skins, entrance animations, and finishing moves, are also included.
The MOBA's reception has been largely positive, though some concerns have emerged. Reddit users have described the gameplay as "simple" and "short," comparing it to Pokémon Unite, while praising its "decent fun." However, criticism has been directed at the in-game currency system, with some players finding it overly grindy and designed to incentivize purchases. Despite this, other players have expressed overall enjoyment of the game.
The 2025 release date marks an exciting development for Dragon Ball fans, particularly given the franchise's established presence in the fighting game genre. The game's success will likely hinge on addressing player feedback regarding the in-game economy while retaining the enjoyable core gameplay experience.
