A new Dragon Ball game has just been announced, but this time it looks like Bandai Namco are trying something a little different. Billed as an ‘asymmetrical online multiplayer game’, Dragon Ball: The Breakers will have a team of survivors featuring various non-superpowered characters from the Dragon Ball universe as they attempt to survive an invasion by one of the franchises many villains until they can escape. The gameplay seems reminiscent of games like Dead by Daylight (which is very popular) and Evolve (which was not). It will be interesting to see how this new game brings the Dragon Ball franchise into a new genre when it releases on PC, Xbox and Playstation next year.
A closed beta test has also been announced, with details to follow in the future.
