Bandai Namco's Dragon Ball Project: Multi, a MOBA based on the popular Dragon Ball franchise, has announced a 2025 release window following a successful beta test. The game, slated for Steam and mobile platforms, received positive feedback, though some concerns were raised. Let's delve into the details.
Dragon Ball Project: Multi – A 2025 Launch
The recently concluded regional beta test for Dragon Ball Project: Multi yielded valuable player feedback, which the developers, Ganbarion (known for One Piece game adaptations), will use to enhance the game. The official Twitter (X) announcement expressed gratitude to beta testers for their contributions.
This 4v4 team-based strategy game features iconic Dragon Ball characters like Goku, Vegeta, Gohan, Piccolo, and Frieza. Character strength increases throughout matches, allowing for powerful boss and player takedowns. Extensive customization options, including skins, entrance, and finishing animations, are also planned.
Mixed Reception Following Beta Testing
While generally well-received, some players on Reddit compared the MOBA to simpler titles like Pokémon Unite, citing its straightforward gameplay. Concerns were also raised regarding the in-game currency system, with some players feeling pressured to make in-app purchases to unlock heroes. However, other players expressed overall positive sentiments.
The game's release in 2025 is highly anticipated by Dragon Ball fans, particularly given the franchise's established presence in the fighting game genre (e.g., the upcoming DRAGON BALL: Sparking! ZERO). The developers' commitment to incorporating player feedback suggests a refined and engaging experience is in the works.
