At the beginning of the year, it was announced that a new Dragon Ball title will be releasing later in 2019 which follows the origin story of protagonist Goku in a new RPG adventure given the placeholder name Project Z. The announcement was an interesting twist as many fans are all aware of the story behind the hero, which made the reveal an even bigger surprise as players will get a more in-depth view of how the character came to be through this new game.
Leading later to this past June, Bandai Namco officially revealed Project Z at the Microsoft press conference with a new name, Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot. As like the synopsis that was given from the announcement back in January, the reveal trailer showcased a younger Goku and the hardships he faced early on in his journey.
Rather than the game’s initial 2019 aimed release window, the title now has been stamped with a 2020 timeframe for launch.
According to the latest issue of V-Jump magazine, it reveals that the upcoming fighter will include more than one playable character aside from Goku to be in your control.
