Dragon Ball Fighterz adds Trunks, plans closed beta

Dragon Ball Fighterz is one of the most anticipated fighting games in recent memory, thanks to its gorgeous graphics that replicate the look of its source material. We even gave it one of our Unreal E3 Awards during the Electronic Entertainment Expo in Los Angeles last month. At the end of this past weekend’s EVO 2017 fighting game tournament, Bandai Namco announced that Trunks is joining Dragon Ball Fighterz as its seventh character. The publisher also revealed that a closed beta test is coming soon to PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.

Singups will start on July 26, although we don’t know when the test will start. Betas can help developers find bugs and make balance changes before shipping a game, but they can also serve to help build up hype. It will give eager gamers a chance to try the fighter out ahead of its early 2018 release for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC.
