Fans who have been enjoying Kakarot will be excited to experience the new story featured in the TV special. The features included in this special will be an exciting challenge to fans of the game, and it will be thrilling to find out how tough Frieza will be to fight in this extra content package. It will also be interesting to interact with the other characters featured in the TV special and would be curious if anything new was added to expand the experience.
This game is going to be an exciting new experience for fans, which will see players hiding and running from iconic villains in order to survive. This seems very similar to games such as Deathgarden: Bloodharvest, which sees a group of players trying to survive and hide from a hunter until they can escape. This will certainly be different than the combat games usually seen from the franchise, so it will be thrilling to experience this new concept.
Dragon Ball: The Breakers will begin the Open Beta on September 21 at 6:00 p.m. PDT until September 25 at 1:00 a.m. PDT. With Frieza and Cell available as Raiders and Oolong and Bulma optional skins for survivors.
The release date of the BARDOCK – ALONE AGAINST FATE DLC for Dragon Ball X: Kakarot will be revealed at a later date, with more announcements to follow.
