Dragon Ball Project: Multi, the anticipated MOBA from Bandai Namco, is slated for a 2025 release! Following a successful beta test, the developers announced the release window via their official Twitter (X) account. While a precise date remains unconfirmed, the game is projected to launch on Steam and mobile platforms.
The developers expressed their gratitude for beta testers' valuable feedback, emphasizing its role in enhancing the game's overall experience. Developed by Ganbarion, known for their One Piece game adaptations, Dragon Ball Project: Multi offers 4v4 team-based strategic gameplay.
Players will control iconic Dragon Ball characters like Goku, Vegeta, Gohan, Piccolo, and Frieza, with characters growing stronger throughout matches. Extensive customization options, including skins, entrance, and victory animations, are also promised.
The MOBA's reception has been mixed. While many praise its enjoyable, albeit simple, gameplay, similar to Pokemon Unite, some concerns have been raised. One Reddit user criticized the game's potentially grindy currency system, suggesting it pushes in-app purchases to unlock heroes. However, other players expressed positive feedback, highlighting their enjoyment of the game's core mechanics.
The 2025 release date marks a significant entry for the Dragon Ball franchise into the MOBA genre, a departure from its traditional fighting game dominance. The upcoming DRAGON BALL: Sparking! ZERO fighting game from Spike Chunsoft further underscores this genre distinction.
