Dragon Ball Z fans have been waiting eagerly for the upcoming Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero, which is the fourth installment of the Budokai Tenkaichi series. The announcement for the game was made during The Game Awards last year, with the title expected to be released on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S consoles, and on PC through Steam.
An official release date has not been announced yet by developers Bandai Namco and Spike Chunsoft. For now, fans have been trying to determine just how many characters will return, and if any new characters will make a surprising debut in the upcoming Dragon Ball Z game.
