Dragon Ball: The Breakers Is A Seven-Against-One Online Multiplayer Game Coming To Switch

This looks hilarious, like a cuter version of 'Dead By Daylight'

AKA the child-friendly Dead by daylight.

Dragon Ball: Amogus?
Gotta admit wasn't on the 2021 vision board, but I can 'Z' it now!

DBZ X Friday the 13th? Ok Bandai.

The fact that I can play as Oolong with a bazooka makes this pure gold. Now, if only I could play as Hercule with exploding Game Boys...

Looks fun. Can't wait to get disconnected.

Oooo love these "survive the night" type games. Pretty neat concept. Definitely on my radar

@Mauzuri Maybe they're focusing on villains with multiple 'forms'. But agreed this trifecta have been done to the ground.

@Tim_Vreeland It better have "Old McDonald had a farm" in the soundtrack (see AVGN Halloween 2021 episode for reference)

@Greatluigi
If you are familiar with Bulma and Oolong (the people hiding in the trailer) you wouldn't think it's child friendly at ALL

This.... looks unique! Creative! And fun! Haven't seen that in an anime game since Fighterz. Looking forward to seeing how this will be rushed and unfinished knowing Dragonball games reputations

Another copy cat of DBD

Dead by DragonBall is actually a pretty cool concept.

OMG Its DBZ Dead my daylight, Lets goo! i'm 100% down to play this day one.

@RupeeClock The updates and and maybe crossover dlc, that could happen is insane!

Evidently, I don't know what this "Dead by Daylight" thing is. My first thoughts while watching the trailer was "Oh, so this is just a knock-off of Evolve, that failed concept by the Left 4 Dead folks".

Seeing this ties into Xenoverse 2, I'm surprised they didn't just make this an additional mode to that game. Like when they added the whole Yu-Gi-Oh card game thing to it. It's my understanding they're still making a large profit off Xenoverse 2 and this looks pretty asset reusing anyways.

@Clod No, this needs to me its own game in my opinion, I rather it not be tied to that game, It needs different devs.

@RupeeClock Lets just act like cell is a complete noob at finding people, and that, he some how lost the power as perfect cell....Ok it doesn't make sense, but i'm really glade they tried not to, just for the sake of staying true to the source.

So this game takes place in the timeline where Vegeta was killed by Krillin in the Saiyan saga and Trunks/Future Trunks was never born? Cool can't wait to see how it unravel.

You know, this might actually turn out okay.

My only worry, is that games like this always fail, DBD is the only one that has really stayed up on top, but because of how hard it is to get it right, I hope they can do it right.

@Mauzuri think it's mostly due to being the biggest villains of Z and thus the most recognizable, in addition to the transformations
i have very little doubt they'll add dlc characters, bamco loves milking their anime games

I have absolutely no interest in Dragonball Z these days...But the title had me intrigued, that is, until I found out it's just a Dragonball Z version of Dead by Daylight.

I was expecting this to be the part of a series (pick any, they all do the same shtick) where all the useless characters like Yamcha, Tien and Krillen try to survive, fend off and buy time until whatever OP character comes to roll the credits (probably Goku) or maybe given continuity doesn't matter since it's just a game, whittle the villain down and beat him themselves.

I love this concept, so I'm excited to see how this turns out. I never tried Friday the 13th or Dead By Daylight cause I'm not into horror and gore, but I will definitely keep my eye on this.

@Mauzuri the fact that the article states “ Enjoy Three First Iconic Raiders… Cell, Buu, and Frieza!” Makes me think if the game is well received DLC with more raiders will come

That's pretty freakin' cool. I bought Xenoverse 2 and FighterZ when they were on sale for like $10 a piece but have hardly touched them. I'm just not very good at fighting games. This seems like something I would enjoy a lot more, though, but I don't know if it'd be worth 60 bucks or anything. Hoping this is a free-to-play title with optional cosmetics you can buy that don't give you an advantage. Something like Fortnite. Since it requires a group of 8, I feel like it has to be for the online community to remain viable, right?

Looks really good!!

I'm very interested in this, looks fantastic.

I LOVE THIS SO MUCH! I've always been curious to try the Dead By Daylight gameplay and a Dragonball Z twist is just AWESOME!

I'm 100% getting this! Its made even more awesome by the fact that you can play as the three main big bads, customize your character, have different abilities, an open environment AND they took one of the most exciting parts of Dragonball Z (the danger regular folk have to face every time there's a threat) and made it WAY MORE INTERESTING! Holy hell! Day one purchase for sure!

I hope they keep adding to it too! I was just thinking we could use a new Dragonball Z game. And if more villains (Janemba, Broly etc) were added, that'd be even better! More costumes, character types and cosmetics would be nice too! Very well done!

@ThatNyteDaez I hope they allow us to pick which one we spawn as if we got the role, I would just main buu.

@PBandSmelly well... less scary and gruesome version of dead before daylight. 😅😅

Haha this looks awesome! Can't wait to try the beta

@Mauzuri I am willing to bet Zamasu and Goku Black will be in the base game as well given their popularity.

I am hoping this extends to outside Earth like a Namekian trying to survive against Moro.

I would also love to see them a gameplay segment on Demon King Piccolo's rampage on Earth that predates Dragon Ball.

All that said, I think they focused on Frieza, Cell, and Buu first because those three are seen as the unholy Trinity and the three most iconic villains in the franchise.

Although Zamasu and Goku Black are close.

@Snatcher I am 100% sure you'll be able to pick between all three villains whenever you land the chaser role (forgot what its called already haha). In all other games this one is clearly based off, you can choose which baddie you want to be. Often in the middle of the match. I'd say the only thing you might have to worry about is landing the villain role over someone else who also wants to be the villain in that same match - since there can only be one at a time. But I'm betting there will be ways around that. You'll have plenty of fun as Majin Buu, I'm certain.

Honestly I'll be happy as anything. Villain Role would be great as both Freiza and Cell. Survivor role would be fun too - I'm pretty good at hiding so I'm confident I'll have a blast. xD

@ThatNyteDaez I'm going to play the hell out of this one.

Honestly, this looks really cool and I'd take it over another Xenoverse game any day. Not that Xenoverse is bad, I enjoyed both, but 2 just felt like 1 with a slightly different storyline and new characters so I don't feel like there's much point in doing a third. I like that they're trying something new, and as a fan of both asymmetrical horror and Dragon Ball, I'm absolutely looking forward to this.

@RupeeClock The last few Dragon Ball games had someone else voice Frieza due to Ayres' health issues, so my guess is it will be the same case here unfortunately. I'd love to be wrong though, it would be cool to see it as a final send-off to him.

@Snatcher SAME! A brand new Dragonball game is such a relief since I dont play Xenoverse 2 anymore and FighterZ is beyond me. xD

I just saw a youtube video about the The Breakers as well and the youtuber stated the game is connected to the Xenoverse universe and will have some connectivity to Xenoverse save data. So I bet this will be especially exciting for people who played Xenoverse at least one time or another.

SO cool!

@ThatNyteDaez Its also great that there doing a new idea for a DBZ game, its always the same thing but this time, this is just wacko!

Looks pretty fun

@Snatcher Its about time we branched out. Much as I love DBZ combat, we've already tried everything under the sun where fighting games are concerned. The Breaker is a long overdue game type in the Dragonball sphere.

Now if only we could get a couple more...

@ThatNyteDaez Just not a DBZ BR LOL. But I agree, The fighting games are a been there done that, but this is a whole new beast.
