Update [Fri 3rd Jun, 2022 03:38 BST]: Bandai Namco has provided an update (via social media) about this incoming balance update. It'll be released "around" next month in July. It will include some updates for the newest fighter Android 21 (Lab Coat) and more details will be released soon.
"[#DBFZ] The game balance update, including “Android 21 (Lab Coat),” is scheduled to be released around July 2022. We have been working hard for the release, so please wait for further details. We hope for your continued support of DRAGON BALL FighterZ."
In somewhat related news, Bandai Namco has also released a new trailer for the Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 - Awakened Warrior DLC Pack. It'll be arriving in Summer 2022.
"Dyspo joins Conton City as the latest DLC character in #DBXV2! Take a sneak peek at the newest extra mission - Revival of the Demon Realm - and find out what happened to Dabura after we last saw him... The DLC drops this Summer, so stay tuned! "
Original article [Tue 3rd May, 2022 04:10 BST]: One of the best fighting experiences you can have on the Nintendo Switch is the third-party title Dragon Ball FighterZ. Although Bandai Namco is seemingly done with the DLC, it still appears to be releasing some updates for the game.
In a post via social media, the official Dragon Ball game and Bandai Namco Esports Twitter account revealed the team behind DBFZ was currently working on a game balance update, which would also cover the recently released DLC - Android 21 (Lab Coat).
"[#DBFZ] We’re currently working on the game balance update, including the 'Android 21 (Lab Coat)' DLC which was released on February 24, 2022. The details of the release time will be announced at a later date. We hope for your continued support of DRAGON BALL FighterZ."
The latest DLC addition is equipped with her "blade-like energy and well-rounded skill set". This character will set you back $4.99 USD or your regional equivalent. Hopefully, this next DBFZ update arrives in time for EVO 2022 (5-7 August), which will feature Dragon Ball FighterZ as one of the nine games at the event.

Y'know, if it's the last character, I say leave Lab Coat 21 overpowered. The fusions need to be stopped.
The first Dragon Ball FighterZ game had some of the best anime graphics I've seen in a long time. The online however was awful with so many people disconnecting.
21 and the fusions are certainly a problem and I hope they do some sensible scaling back. Also hoping for a few QOL changes for low tiers (read: Frieza) before they turn off the lights.
I guess they decided they earned enough from DLC sales.
The current meta even before 21 was staling with Fusions dominating the scene so hopefully a patch hits both.
Make it load faster waiting 45 seconds before fight and after fight makes it unplayable
@MasterGraveheart Leaving Android 21 (lab coat) the way is is has already done so much damage to the competitive scene so far (and thats just the lack of communication from Namco on if they are going to balance her)
Doing nothing could damage Namcos other series (eg Tekken/Soul Calibur) where people (FGC) think Namco just dont know what they are doing about balance
Upsetting/annoying your core customers is a sure way to increase sales right?
Oh thank god. I was at Combo Breaker over the weekend and only two teams out of the top 8 didn't have Lab Coat.
@Bret I'm not usually for character bans, but I was glad to see CEO put its foot down with respect to A21. She CAN be defeated, but is meta-defining and takes the variety down a few notches.
It's not the first time that a lab coat and glasses wearing female character has found herself banned from fighting game tournaments.
Kokonoe from the Blazblue series was notoriously overpowered when she first popped up as a DLC playable character.
