The leak has emerged from the official site's datamined info, suggesting an expected release date of October 1, 2024.
Sparking Zero’s first DLC pack is pricey, but its new batch of perfectly-realised characters from Super-Hero make it a treat for fans.
I agree that while it is great that new characters were added which each version having a different move set, I found that sparking Zero is unfortunately following the same trend as older games in the series where there are no new stages. We are getting the same stages over and over again. Let us see if the Daima expansion adds stages from the demon world or if we are stuck using the same stages from the base game.
VGChartz's Chinh Tran: "As these games wrestled, jostled, and brawled to stand out in an increasingly crowded space, gamers had no shortage of options when it came to fighters. Bandai Namco took the Budokai Tenkaichi series to new heights with the release of Dragon Ball: Sparkling! Zero. The same company also unleashed Tekken 8, continuing the series' intense combat mechanics for gamers to master. Arc System Works gave us one final installment of the Under Night In-Birth series, in the form of [Sys: Celes]. And finally 2K Games gave wrestling fans WWE 2K24, which further refined the long-running series' mechanics."
"Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero is a lovingly made bundle of series joy - a huge roster of characters in some iconic locations with plenty of content to experience."
