Bandai Namco Entertainment announced a new free-to-play team-battling game set in the Dragon Ball universe.
The new game, currently with the working title Dragon Ball Project: Multi, is similar in design to a MOBA (Multiplayer Online Battle Arena), with two teams of four engaging in thrilling battles to capture objectives and eliminate enemy heroes. During the match, players will be able to upgrade their chosen character, increasing in strength as the round progresses.
Heroes are split into distinct roles and feature unit abilities. The three roles are "Damage," which focuses on aggressive offense; "Tank," which soaks damage; and "Technical," which supports allies or disrupts enemies.
As a free-to-play game, it sounds like there will be in-game monetization in the form of character aesthetics such as skin items and animation changes (including entrance animations and special finisher animations).
In addition to announcing the game, Bandai Namco also confirmed that a regional beta test will take place next week. The beta test will be available in Canada, France, Germany, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, United Kingdom, and United States. It will run from Monday, August 19th at 11:00 p.m. PDT to Monday, September 2nd at 10:59 p.m. PDT.
