Bandai Namco and Arc System Works have announced a new Dragon Ball fighting game, Dragon Ball Fighters.
Dragon Ball Fighters will use a three-versus-three team battle system, and allow players to determine what compatibility they want and select a team. The game will also incorporate the “ultra high speed battles” and “flashy special moves” from the series..
According to producer Tomoko Hiroki, while Dragon Ball titles of recent years have been 3D, they chose 2.5D this time because there were some things that can only be done in that style. While it looks like 2D animation at first glance, it has a broader range of expression as they can shift camera angles and incorporate a lot of unique production not possible in 2D alone.
This is really cool news, and the game sounds absolutely amazing. A traditional 2D Dragon Ball fighting game is something many want and now we are getting it.
