Dragon Ball Project: Multi – A 2025 Launch

Beta Test Concludes

Dragon Ball Project: Multi, a team-based MOBA based on the beloved Dragon Ball universe, is slated for a 2025 release, as declared via the game's official Twitter (X) account. While a precise release date remains unannounced, the Bandai Namco title is anticipated on Steam and mobile platforms. The recent regional beta test concluded, with developers expressing gratitude for player feedback: "We thank all beta testers for their valuable contributions. This feedback will help improve the game experience."

Developed by Ganbarion (known for One Piece game adaptations), Dragon Ball Project: Multi features 4v4 battles. Players control iconic characters like Goku, Vegeta, Gohan, Piccolo, Frieza, and many more. The game description highlights character progression: "Your heroes grow stronger throughout matches, allowing you to dominate opponents and bosses." Extensive customization options, including skins, entrance animations, and victory poses, are also promised.

The MOBA genre is a novel direction for the Dragon Ball franchise, which is typically associated with fighting games (like the upcoming DRAGON BALL: Sparking! ZERO by Spike Chunsoft). While the beta received generally positive feedback, some concerns have been raised. Reddit comments highlighted the game's simplicity, compared to titles like Pokémon Unite, while praising its enjoyable gameplay.

However, criticism focused on the in-game currency system. One player stated their main issue was the "store level" requirement tied to in-app purchases, making progression feel overly grindy. Conversely, other players expressed positive sentiments, simply stating their enjoyment of the game.
