Bandai Namco's highly anticipated Dragon Ball MOBA, Dragon Ball Project: Multi, has revealed its 2025 release window following a successful beta test. This article delves into the announcement and the game's features.
Dragon Ball Project: Multi - A 2025 MOBA Debut
Beta Test Completion and Fan Appreciation
Bandai Namco's official Twitter (X) account confirmed the 2025 release, although a precise date remains unannounced. The game, slated for Steam and mobile platforms, recently concluded a regional beta test. The developers expressed their gratitude to participants, highlighting the valuable feedback received to enhance the game's enjoyment.
Developed by Ganbarion (known for One Piece game adaptations), Dragon Ball Project: Multi is a 4v4 team-based strategy game featuring iconic characters like Goku, Vegeta, Gohan, Piccolo, Frieza, and more. Character strength increases throughout matches, allowing for powerful attacks against opponents and bosses. Extensive customization options, including skins, entrance, and finishing animations, are also planned.
The MOBA genre is a new direction for the Dragon Ball franchise, usually associated with fighting games (like the upcoming DRAGON BALL: Sparking! ZERO from Spike Chunsoft). While beta feedback has been largely positive, some concerns have surfaced.
Reddit comments highlight the game's simplicity, likened to Pokémon Unite, while praising the enjoyable gameplay. However, criticism has been directed at the in-game currency system, with players noting a potentially grindy progression tied to in-app purchases to unlock certain heroes. Despite this, other players have expressed overall positive opinions. The game's future success will depend on addressing these concerns before launch.
