Bandai Namco's highly anticipated Dragon Ball MOBA, Dragon Ball Project: Multi, has unveiled its 2025 release window following a successful beta test. This article delves into the announcement and provides further details on the game.
The news broke this week via the game's official Twitter (X) account. While a precise release date remains unconfirmed, Dragon Ball Project: Multi is slated for release on Steam and mobile platforms in 2025. The recent regional beta test concluded, with developers expressing appreciation for player feedback. They stated the input will be crucial in enhancing the gaming experience.
Developed by Ganbarion (renowned 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, Frieza, and many more. The game's description highlights character progression throughout matches, allowing players to dominate opponents and bosses. Extensive customization options, including skins and unique animations, are also promised.
The MOBA genre represents a departure for the Dragon Ball franchise, known primarily for its fighting games (such as the upcoming DRAGON BALL: Sparking! ZERO from Spike Chunsoft). While the beta test garnered largely positive feedback, some concerns have been raised.
Reddit discussions reveal mixed opinions. One player described the MOBA as "incredibly simple (and short)," comparing it to Pokémon Unite, while acknowledging its "decent fun." However, another player criticized the in-game currency system, citing a "store level" requirement linked to in-app purchases as overly grindy and potentially pushing players towards spending money. Other players, like u/Icechillay, simply expressed their enjoyment of the game.
