Bandai Namco's highly anticipated Dragon Ball MOBA, Dragon Ball Project: Multi, has officially announced its release window for 2025 following a successful beta test phase. Dive into the details and discover what this exciting new game has in store for fans of the Dragon Ball universe.

Dragon Ball Project: Multi: A 2025 Release on the Horizon

Dragon Ball Project: Multi, a dynamic multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA) game inspired by the legendary Dragon Ball anime and manga series, is gearing up for a 2025 launch. The announcement, made via the game's official Twitter (X) account, indicates that while a precise release date is yet to be set, the game will be accessible on both Steam and mobile platforms. The recent conclusion of the regional beta test has been met with gratitude from the developers at Ganbarion, who expressed their thanks to the participants: "We sincerely thank everyone for taking part in the Regional [Beta] Test. All the valuable input we have received from our players will help our development team strive to make the game even more entertaining."

Developed by Ganbarion, known for their work on One Piece video game adaptations, Dragon Ball Project: Multi promises an engaging 4v4 team-based strategic experience. Players can look forward to controlling iconic characters from the Dragon Ball universe, including Goku, Vegeta, Gohan, Piccolo, Frieza, and many more. The game's mechanics allow characters to grow in power as the match progresses, enabling players to "obliterate enemy players and bosses alike." Additionally, the game offers extensive customization with various skins and unique entrance and finisher animations.

The Dragon Ball community has shown keen interest in this MOBA, particularly as the franchise is more commonly linked to the fighting game genre, exemplified by the forthcoming DRAGON BALL: Sparking! ZERO from Spike Chunsoft. Feedback from the beta test has been generally positive, though some players have shared mixed feelings. One user on Reddit described it as "an incredibly simple (and short) MOBA, more akin to something like Pokemon Unite," yet found the gameplay to be "decent fun."

However, concerns have been raised about the game's currency system. A player noted their "only real complaint" being the requirement for a 'store level' achieved through in-game purchases, which they felt made the game "SUPER grindy" and pushed players to buy Heroes. On a more positive note, user u/Icechillay succinctly expressed their appreciation, simply stating, "I like the game."
