Bandai Namco's highly anticipated Dragon Ball MOBA, Dragon Ball Project: Multi, has officially announced a 2025 release window, following a successful beta testing period. Read on for all the details.
Dragon Ball Project: Multi Set for 2025 Release
Beta Test Concludes
Dragon Ball Project: Multi, the exciting multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA) based on the beloved Dragon Ball franchise, is slated to launch sometime in 2025. The announcement was made this week via the game's official Twitter (X) account. While a precise release date remains unconfirmed, the Bandai Namco-published title is expected to arrive on Steam and mobile platforms. The recent regional beta test concluded, with the developers expressing sincere gratitude to participating fans for their valuable feedback, stating it will be instrumental in further enhancing the game.
Developed by Ganbarion, renowned for their work on One Piece game adaptations, Dragon Ball Project: Multi offers a 4v4 team-based strategic experience. Players will control iconic Dragon Ball characters like Goku, Vegeta, Gohan, Piccolo, Frieza, and many more. The game's synopsis highlights the characters' increasing strength throughout matches, allowing for epic battles against both enemy players and powerful bosses. Extensive customization options, including diverse skins, unique entrance animations, and impressive finisher moves, add a personal touch to the gameplay.
The MOBA genre is a new direction for the Dragon Ball franchise, which is traditionally associated with fighting games, such as the upcoming DRAGON BALL: Sparking! ZERO from Spike Chunsoft. Early feedback from the beta test has been largely positive. However, some players have expressed concerns. One Reddit user described the game as "incredibly simple (and short)," comparing it to Pokémon Unite, while acknowledging it's "decent fun."
Another player voiced frustration with the in-game currency system, stating that the requirement of reaching a certain "store level" through in-app purchases felt overly grindy and potentially pay-to-win. Conversely, other players, like u/Icechillay, expressed positive sentiments, offering concise praise for the game.
