Release Date For DRAGON BALL Z: KAKAROT In Japan Has Been Revealed; Expected To Launch In January

Bandai Namco has recently revealed that the upcoming Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot will be releasing for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC(digital) on the 16th of January in 2020; this release date is — for the time being, at least — only confirmed for Japan.

The good news is that Bandai Namco usually aims for worldwide releases, so it is safe to assume that players will still be able to get Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot on the same day; if anything, it could end up releasing in the West only a few days later.

Bandai Namco's official Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot website has also been recently updated, giving us our first look at the simplistic, yet effective cover art for the game — which features Goku on top of Flying Nimbus.

It wasn't just the coverart for the game that was shown off, as new details about the game were also revealed; particularly the fact that early purchases of Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot will include some additional content.

Thanks to the people over at Gematsu we have now also have the translation, which reads as follows:

-Early unlock of the training menu to fight against former Ginyu Force member Bonyu – Bonyu is a female warrior and former member of the Ginyu Force created by Akira Toriyama. While she was a famous warrior that Ginyu was at the head of scouting when the Ginyu Force was first formed, she hated “those poses” and left the group. Players can fight a virtual Bonyu, recreated based on data obtained from the Ginyu Force spaceship, in the Capsule Corporation’s training room.
-Sub-Story: “A Dangerous Party of Friends” – A story in which Goku’s friends throw him a party to celebrate his return from planet Yardrat, which is a story that was not depicted in the original work.
-Bento: “Happy Ultra Finest Quality Meat” – Increase your status by eating meals in the agme. This is a status up item that will let you progress with an advantage in the early parts of the game.

Relive the thrilling story of Kakarot, the legendary Saiyan better known as Goku, in the all-new Action-RPG DRAGON BALL Z: KAKAROT, coming early 2020. DRAGON BALL Z: KAKAROT will include English and Japanese voice-over along with subtitles in English, French, Italian, German and Spanish, as well as Russian, Polish and Arabic.
