Bandai Namco Reveals A New Power Awakens DLC For Dragon Ball: Kakarot, Landing Next Week

Just at the turn of the new decade, publisher Bandai Namco alongside studio CyberConnect2 shipped the inaugural RPG Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot which reintroduced the roots of the franchise’s billboard hero, Goku. Despite some of the lighter criticisms the game rightly deserves when the title shipped, many beloved fans do hold the game close regarding the in-depth portrayal of the main character’s origin story in the RPG formula.

In a recent announcement today, Bandai Namco revealed that the first segment of the debut story expansion ‘A New Power Awakens’ is scheduled to arrive later this month: this following Tuesday April 28, in fact.

“As Beerus makes his appearance, Vegeta and Goku will fight alongside to defeat him in this boss battle episode. Set at Level 250, Beerus will be an opponent to be reckoned with, especially since players won’t be able to use the full range of their items to defeat him,” the synapse for Part 1 revealed on the announcement post.

The publisher clarified that this is only one portion of the add-on experience with the following part to be included at a time later on in 2020. Regarding the approaching downloadable content, Bandai Namco namely mentions that both Super Saiyan God Goku and Super Saiyan God Vegeta will both be playable when playing this upcoming story.

As expected, players will be able to purchase Part 1 of the DLC or pick up the add-on if already owning the respected Season Pass for the game. Pricing has yet to be disclosed for the first segment of the story expansion, but the Season Pass runs for $24.99.
