Dragon Ball FighterZ became an instant hit even before the game had officially come out. Upon its announcement, the game was known to be developed by Arc System Works, one of the best fighting game developers of all time, and featured characters from the
Dragon Ball manga/anime, which is one of the most popular series of all time. If we take all those things into account,
Dragon Ball FighterZ was always destined to be great.
Arc System Works have always delivered quality fighting games that are easy to pick up and difficult to master, which is the perfect mix for a fighting game as it doesn't alienate casual players. This is exactly why it was so perfect that they would be developing a
Dragon Ball fighting game, because most fans of the anime aren't hardcore fighting game players.
Dragon Ball FighterZ had everything going for it and it delivered big time, getting praise from critics and fans alike. The game even managed to make it to EVO 2018, which is the biggest fighting game tournament,
taking the spot from replacing
Marvel vs Capcom—which had been present since the tournament's early beginnings.
Today we got some new information regarding the stellar debut of
Dragon Ball FighterZ which, according to reports, has managed to become the highest viewed game in EVO history with a staggering 257.805 concurrent viewers on Twitch. The first two days of the event,
Street Fighter V doubled the viewer counts of Arc System Works and Bandai Namco's fighting game but when it came to the finals,
Dragon Ball FighterZ rose victorious—becoming the most watched game at EVO and setting a record for the highest viewer count for an EVO main event on Twitch.
After the success of the Xenoverse series, it’s time to introduce a new classic 2D DRAGON BALL fighting game for this generation’s consoles. DRAGON BALL FighterZ is born from what makes the DRAGON BALL series so loved and famous: endless spectacular fights with its allpowerful fighters. Partnering with Arc System Works, DRAGON BALL FighterZ maximizes high end Anime graphics and brings easy to learn but difficult to master fighting gameplay to audiences worldwide.
Dragon Ball FighterZ is available for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC.
Nintendo Switch version coming on the 28th of September.
