In the trailer, Goku and Vegeta battle it out while showcasing a number of additional forms, including the legendary Super Saiyan God form that made its debut during Dragon Ball Super.

Dragon Ball is going out all for its 40th anniversary. In addition to Bandai Namco’s revival of the Budokai Tenkaichi franchise, a brand-new series is also set to air. The upcoming anime, Dragon Ball Daima, follows Goku and his friends as they embark on a journey to break a spell that turns them all into children. While initially skeptical about the concept, Dragon Ball fans have become more hopeful after learning that the anime will recreate classic elements from the original manga and focus more on traditional martial arts than Z and Super. Original franchise creator Akira Toriyama is creating Daima‘s story with composition assistance from Yuuko Kakihara (Cells at Work!, RIN-NE).
Dragon Ball: Sparking! ZERO will be available on PC, PS5, Xbox Series X/S and Steam. A specific release date has not yet been announced.
