Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot, which arrived at the very start of 2020, is still getting DLC. You know how DBZ games go!
This one is called “Ground Battle,” and it’s billed as the fifth major DLC for the game. As the name might suggest, you’re literally fighting on the ground here, which is a Godsend given how flight-heavy the game is in general. It’s silly that this is the focus of a DLC three and a half years after the game’s release (and not as part of the base package), but it’s here all the same. Sometimes Dragon Ball Z games (or Bandai Namco anime brawlers in general) can give EA Sports titles a run for their money!
Here’s a full description of the DLC from Bandai Namco:
“Unleash your power in a new stage, ‘Ground Battle’ of Dragon Ball Z Kakarot‘s DLC 5! Experience intense fights with unique rules in the World Tournament. Master epic moves, defeat your foes, and rise to victory! Get ready for non-stop action!’
While Ground Battle was announced several weeks ago, it just got an official date thanks to Bandai Namco’s German Twitter account: August 17.
A short history of Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot DLC
Note that this is all part of the “second battle pass” for the game. The first concluded in June of 2021 with a Trunks-focused DLC, with the second season pass arriving in early 2023. Ground Battle is the second add-on for the second pass (what is this, the 2010s?), and the third and final DLC will presumably come out sometime later in 2023.
