Dragon Ball Fighter Z is a 2D fighting game that looks just like the show

Microsoft showed off Dragon Ball Fighter Z today during its Xbox event ahead of the Electronic Entertainment Expo in Los Angeles. It’s a 2D fighting game featuring characters from the popular Dragon Ball series of anime and manga. It will feature 3-vs.-3 fights, and it’s coming out early 2018.

Dragon Ball has had a long history in gaming, including dozens of fighting games. But it’s focused on 3D battles in recent years. Fighter Z brings the action back to the 2D plane, but it uses gorgeous graphics that look just like the animation from the show.
