Bandai Namco has announced a significant update for Dragon Ball Sparking Zero scheduled for late October 2024. This patch aims to address several issues that players have encountered since the game’s release earlier this month.
A key focus of this update is fixing the unresponsive controls during online matches when using classic controls. Many players have found this to be a frustrating issue while playing multiplayer. The developers are also working to improve the stability of online gameplay, aiming for a smoother experience for all players.
The update also has good news for players who prefer single-player content. It will adjust the difficulty of certain stages in Episode Battle, especially on the lower difficulty settings. This change aims to make the story mode easier for casual players, while still keeping the challenge for more experienced Dragon Ball fans.
One of the most interesting parts of this update is the planned changes to Yajirobe’s stats. Even though he’s seen as a weaker character in the Dragon Ball world, Yajirobe has become surprisingly strong in online matches due to his ability to fully restore health with Senzu Beans. The upcoming nerf will reduce his power to make him more balanced with the other fighters, leading to fairer online battles.
The announcement has received mixed feedback from the Dragon Ball Sparking Zero community. While many players appreciate the online play fixes and the Episode Battle adjustments, some Yajirobe mains are understandably worried about the upcoming nerf to their favorite character.
Meanwhile, a growing number of players also have voiced their desire for cross-play functionality, hoping that the developers will consider adding this feature to further enhance the multiplayer experience.
This patch tackles the current issues, but it’s probably just the start of ongoing support for Dragon Ball Sparking Zero. Players can expect more updates and possibly new content in the months ahead. With over three million units sold, the game has a solid player base ready for more improvements and additions.
The exact release date for the patch hasn’t been shared yet, but players are encouraged to stay tuned to the official Dragon Ball Games social media pages for updates. In the meantime, the arena is still open for anyone wanting to sharpen their skills in this latest addition to the popular fighting game series!
