Dragon Ball fans can now enjoy some brand-new content in Dragon Ball: Sparking! ZERO thanks to the Early Access release of an upcoming paid DLC. The game’s new pack features additional character assets and has been released in early access alongside a brand-new update for the game. The last update arrived in early March, so it’s about time for some fresh new content in the Dragon Ball game. The DAIMA Character Pack 1 DLC doesn’t officially release until April 24th, but Bandai Namco is offering early access as of April 21st. While this content is paid, the April 22nd update for Dragon Ball: Sparking! ZERO is free, meaning players will get some new content regardless.
The Dragon Ball: Sparking! ZERO Daima Character Pack 1 DLC includes 8 playable characters, 1 exclusive costume, and additional balance updates to the game. Here is every character included in the new pack:
- Goku (Mini) Super Saiyan
- Vegeta (Mini)
- Vegeta (Mini) Super Saiyan
- Vegeta (Mini) Super Saiyan 2
- Vegeta (Mini) Super Saiyan 3
- Glorio
- Panzy
- Majin Kuu
To get a first look at these characters in action, check out the trailer below:
Early Access for the pack started on April 21st for Season Pass holders, so anyone with a Dragon Ball: Sparking! ZERO season pass should be able to access the new content. For everyone else, the DLC arrives on April 24th. The cost for the pack hasn’t yet been revealed, but we’ll likely learn more once the pack fully drops.
If you want early access to the pack, along with other seasonal content, you can still grab the Season Pass for $34.99 on Steam or in the PlayStation or Xbox shop.
