A while ago, a rumour had it that Zamasu was one of the characters that would be joining the
Dragon Ball FighterZ roster. But he wasn't the only character to be rumoured since that information came from some files that had been datamined by some game modders.
The characters on that file were GKN for Goku Normal(Base form), ZMB for Fused Zamasu, VGN for Vegeta Normal(Base form), CLF for Cooler, AVP for Android 17 and VTB for Vegito Blue. That list also included Bardock and Broly, two characters that
have since been released, so it is safe to assume that those are the 8 official characters that Arc System Works had announced would be released as DLC.
Thanks to
EventHubs, via
Shonen Games, we have now confirmation that Fused Zamasu is the next DLC character to join the
Dragon Ball FighterZ roster. While Zamasu Fused still hasn't been introduced on the show(at least not the American version) it is likely that the character won't be released until then in order not to spoil the ones that didn't watch the Japanese
Dragon Ball Super. Whatever the case, is nice that Bandai Namco and Arc System Works have delivered with
Dragon Ball FighterZ as it really is one of the best fighting games in years.
According to the translation provided by EventHubs we're able to know a bit more about Fused Zamasu's moveset, as well as some of his stats.
Take a look:
The Strongest X Immortality (as in, Goku Black being the strongest and Zamasu being immortal)
"The latest Dragon Ball game that's a huge hit - the newest DLC character will be the fused version of Zamasu!"

Zamasu, the disciple of the 10th Universe's Kaioshin, fused together with Goku Black, enters the battle!! He seems to control quite a bit differently from the other characters...
Through using the Dragon Balls, he achieved ultimate power and immortality, truly, the most fearsome god of all!!
A special move of his allows him to float in the air! After activating it, he enters a flying state, and through directional inputs can move in 8 different directions!!
Super Move - "Divine Wrath"
"From his fingertips, he forms a huge energy ball and launches it!! Using it as an ender after multiple supers is optimal!"
Meteo Super Move - "Absolute Thunder"
"A meteo super move in which a large figure expands, as if spreading it wings, and brings thunder and lightning down upon a wide area!!"
"Bolts of lightning assault the whole area!!"
"Stay tuned for next issue of V-Jump for his release window!"
