Oh man, Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot is gearing up for a crazy summer, isn’t it? With all the buzz about the new DLC, The Demon Realm Part 1, set to launch in mid-July, fans have a lot to sink their teeth into. It’s wild how a game that’s been around for over five years is still getting fresh content like this. And not just any content—but stuff that goes deep into the Dragon Ball universe. Kinda makes you wonder if they’ll ever stop finding new storylines.
So, let’s talk Kakarot. Unlike, I dunno, the million other Dragon Ball fighting games, this bad boy hit the scene in 2020 with a real eye on story, right? Sure, there’s fighting—they couldn’t leave that out if they tried—but it launched us alongside Goku through all the ups and downs of Dragon Ball Z. And then they got ambitious, throwing in Dragon Ball Super arcs and even a fresh storyline about Trunks. It’s like they’re saying, “Yeah, we got more to say.”
Oh, speaking of extras, when they announced the Demon Realm DLC last October, fans went nuts. July 17th, mark it down! Bandai Namco’s teaser trailer got everyone hyped, showcasing the new zones—Third Demon World with its floating islands, if you can believe that. Seriously, don’t sleep on those islands; they’re hiding goodies and secrets that’ll drive collectors wild. And the enemies? We’ve got trolls and goblins tossing status effects like confetti at a parade.
Wait, pause—there’s more. New adventures await with characters like Glorio, Panzy, and Supreme Kai hanging with Goku. Panzy, especially, is supposed to reveal a side of herself we didn’t see in the anime. Did you catch that bit about volcanic gasses messing with flight? That’s why there’s a Sky Seed fast-travel system in place. And yes, you can still go hunting and fishing, because why not mix a little relaxing with your demon-battling, right?
So, if you haven’t dived into Dragon Ball Daima yet, it’s got this whole wild plot where Gomah, the Demon Realm’s top dog, shrinks Goku and crew to kidnap Dende. Oh, the drama! With only 20 episodes, it wrapped in February, so there’s still time to binge before the DLC hits.
Overall, whether you’re a fan of the anime or itching for the game, there’s no shortage of action—or reasons to nerd out—coming your way. So, buckle up, it’s gonna be a wild ride!
