As the hype begins to rise for the graphically impressiveDragon Ball FighterZ, a new trailer has dropped revealing new never-seen-before gameplay – as well as a sneak peak at the game’s cinematic story mode. The trailer is entitled ‘The Androids Are Back’ and shows off footage of the recently revealed half-mechanical additions to the roster in action.
Before showing clips of the once-villainous Androids, theDragon Ball FighterZtrailer welcomes newcomers Piccolo and Krillin to the fight, revealing the fan-favorites in style as the two join the fast-growing roster. Then it’s Android 18 and Android 16’s turn in the spotlight, the former of which seems to come partnered with her sibling Android 17, who appears to jump into the fight to assist from time to time.
The twins seem to take up the same character slot, with 18 as the focus, though Android 17 will be present in many special moves. One quick scene even looks as though the male Android will be capable of defending against powerful attacks by using his iconic barrier, taken straight from the anime series.
The latestDragon Ball FighterZtrailer then takes an exciting turn, revealing a ‘forbidden story’ containing an army made up of dark versions of the Z-Fighters. One notable scene contains three dark Gokus at once, though this is not theGoku Blackthat made an appearance in the currently-airingDragon Ball Super.
With story mode that appears to contain impressive cinematics and decides the fate of the world, fans have a lot to look forward to withDragon Ball FighterZand, with thebeta signups now finally open, it won’t be long before gamers can experience the fast-paced fighting game action for themselves. Those who pre-order the title will also gain early-access to Super Saiyan Blue versions of Goku and Vegeta who appear to be seperate characters, rather than simple transformations.
