With a history of impressive titles under its belt, expectations for this game are sky-high.
The buildup alone is expected to significantly impact the game’s sales. Fans are already declaring 2024 as a standout year for anime enthusiasts if Sparking Zero sees a timely release.
Enthusiasts anticipate the game’s mechanics to mirror the success of the Xenoverse series, while also harking back to the beloved Budokai Tenkaichi franchise.
This adherence to a proven formula has left fans pleased, with many flooding social media platforms with expressions like “peak” to convey their excitement.
While many fans expressed their excitement over the latest advertisement scans for Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero, not every netizen on the social media platform shared the sentiment.
Some were disappointed by the absence of a release date, expecting the advertisement to provide more substantial information. For these fans, the lack of details rendered the advertisement a futile exercise.
Similarly, there was anticipation for a new trailer, as fans sought a closer look at the game before making purchasing decisions.
Criticism also surfaced regarding the character design, with one fan specifically voicing dissatisfaction with Vegeta’s hair in his Super Saiyan transformation.
