Dragon Ball: Project M Gets Official 2025 Release

Following a successful beta test, Bandai Namco's anticipated Dragon Ball MOBA, Dragon Ball Project: Multi, has revealed a 2025 release window. This article delves into the announcement and provides further details on the game.

Dragon Ball Project: Multi: A 2025 Launch

The multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA) game, based on the popular Dragon Ball franchise, is slated for a 2025 release, as recently announced via the official Twitter (X) account. While a precise date remains unconfirmed, the Bandai-published title is expected to arrive on Steam and mobile platforms. The developers expressed gratitude for the participation in the recent regional beta test, highlighting the valuable feedback received to enhance the game's appeal.

Developed by Ganbarion (known for their One Piece game adaptations), Dragon Ball Project: Multi is a 4v4 team-based strategy game featuring iconic Dragon Ball characters like Goku, Vegeta, Gohan, Piccolo, and Frieza. The game's description emphasizes character progression and impactful battles against both players and bosses. Extensive customization options, including skins and unique animations, are also promised.

The MOBA entry into the Dragon Ball universe, typically associated with fighting games (such as the upcoming DRAGON BALL: Sparking! ZERO from Spike Chunsoft), has garnered mixed reactions. Positive beta feedback highlights enjoyable gameplay, although some players find it simplistic, comparing it to Pokémon Unite. Concerns have also been raised regarding the in-game currency system, with some players expressing frustration over perceived pay-to-win mechanics and the need for significant in-app purchases to unlock content. Despite these concerns, other players have expressed overall positive sentiments towards the game.

The 2025 release window suggests further development and refinement based on player feedback, potentially addressing concerns regarding the in-game economy and overall gameplay depth. The anticipation remains high for this unique addition to the Dragon Ball gaming landscape.
