Update 2 (Thu 10th Sep, 2020 01:45 BST): Japanese outlet V-Jump has released a new video showcasing the new fighter - Master Roshi. At the end, it was revealed the new fighter would be made available on 16th September to FighterZ Pass 3 owners, and to everyone else on 18th September (thanks, EventHubs). Below is some gameplay footage:
Update (Sun 16th Aug, 2020 20:35 BST): At this weekend's Dragon Ball FighterZ show, Bandai Namco announced Master Roshi would be joining the game's third FighterZ pass as DLC 3 this September. Check out his reveal trailer above.
@BNEesports He has trained the likes of Goku, Gohan, Krilin, and Yamcha. He'll bring great martial arts skill and devasting power with him as he enters the battle in DRAGON BALL FighterZ. Available in September 2020 please welcome Master Roshi!
And here is the game's event roadmap for the remainder of 2020 (via Gematsu). Two more fighters will be added to Pass 3.
Original story (Thu 13th Aug, 2020 04:00 BST): While Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is still considered to be the best fighting game available on the Nintendo Switch, there are plenty of traditional fighters on the hybrid platform that are also worth your time.
One of them is Dragon Ball FighterZ. There are really no cuts or compromises in the Switch version and even after a few years it's still getting regular content and DLC updates. With this in mind, publisher Bandai Namco will be airing a special show for the game on 16th August.
As noted, it'll showcase the game's plans for the remainder of this year, including the game updates on the way, competitions, and an exclusive trailer. You'll be able to tune in on the official Dragon Ball FighterZ Twitch channel.
So Dragon Ball fans, what would you like to see hear or see at this upcoming show? Tell us down below.

Long shot. But I hope the trailer is DB unrelated and actually a new Ridge Racer.

Which variation of Goku will they add this time I wonder.

@PBandSmelly My moneys on Omega Shenron, so that GT Goku can get a dramatic finish.

"COMPETITON"
Oof, sticks out lick a sore thumb
@Yanina I would absolutely freaking love that! But yeah long shot. It'll be yet another season pass with characters that should of been on the base game sigh.
@Wavey84 +1 to the Bruce Faulconer wish! Don't know why his OSTs don't get much love in the various video game series. Maybe a licensing issue?
I wish they’d release more of their anime fighting license’s as 2D games, works so much better
@Wavey84
"Tell me, does a machine like yourself ever feel fear?"
"Fight you? No, I wanna kill you!"
"And this.... This is to go even further beyond!"
Bruce Falconour made all those lines 100x more epic. I'd wager hardcore DB fans can't read those lines without his OST's playing automatically in their brains!
@Wavey84 Personally didn't mind Super so much. Agree with all your criticisms, but overall enjoyed the Beerus, Revival of Freeza and Tournament of Power arcs.
Not sure how such a huge franchise such as DB could have ever got released with subpar animations. Definitely loads of missed opportunities.
Have you read the Super Manga BTW? It's slightly different from the anime, and some parts are far better as a result. There's also more consistency in the power levels, eg when Goku spars with Android 17, he only turns SS3.
No way Android 17 should have been able to keep up with Blue form like he did in the anime.
Everyone seems to think the next character's going to be someone interesting like Roshi, which means we're probably getting another Goku!
@jtmnm This comment aged badly!
Cool, finally a character that truly represents anime fans.
Finally, a character I would actually like to okay! Next: give me Mr Satan!!!
Big Dragonball Z and Super fan here. LOL @ Master Roshi's inclusion - but good move of course.
Dragonball FighterZ is my fav non-Smash fighter on the Switch (& incidentally got a 9/10 on this site even though it is a game based on anime, which throws a spanner in the works over a certain theory of the site, lol 😉 )
If only these packs were cheaper...
There's the one I've been waiting for!
@Wavey84 LMAO what a crap post.
@YagaMaki Happy it did! I've been requesting Roshi since before FighterZ came out.
@Wavey84 I'm with you on wanting Dabura. I'd also like to see Raditz, Chichi with the Bansho Fan, and Bulma in a mech. Future Gohan and Majin Vegeta are two others I'd really like to see, but I'm unsure how realistic their inclusions are. They seem mostly relegated to us 90s fans that grew up with them. Even Roshi's outfit is from his Super outing. I'll take it, regardless!
Switch version is bad due to the terrible load times.
@retro_player_77 Do you think there will be seasons beyond 3? I hope so.
My GOD they did after two long years YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAa hype train.
@durr
No its not i have the switch version and my brother has the ps4 its identical.
I got this game recently on the switch during a sale, but haven't tried it yet. The negative comments about the switch version have me worried.
@palatinus I wouldn't worry too much, the negative factors stated for me are highly insignificant. Also, it's a game ideal for portability IMHO. Perhaps read the Nintendo Life review as well? 🙂
@The-Chosen-one to load a fight on PC takes 10-12 seconds, PS4/xbone 30-35 seconds and switch 45-55 seconds.
Over the course of Arcade mode you play about 10 fights. So that's like 5-10 more minutes of loading more than the other systems. It's a pain in the ass.
Oh my.
This is the sort of announcement that genuinely makes me consider picking up the game!
Finally, rather than another Goku it's someone from old DB!
Nice touch with him using Evil Containment Wave on Piccolo.
Now I also want King Piccolo in there.
Ah, good old Master Roshi. He never taught me any martial arts but I did learn how not to treat (mer)women
@durr
Ahh didnt know it whas that fast on PC.
Giran should be a playable character make him next
How was he not in this game already?!
The one character I really hope for is Bulma in a mech.
@Wavey84 I actually double dipped with the PS4 and Switch versions but prefer the portability of the Switch. "Horses for courses" as they say
@patbacknitro18 Radditz and Majin Vegeta would be amazing.
