Bandai Namco Europe S.A.S. today released  DRAGON BALL: THE BREAKERS a new asymmetrical online multiplayer game, on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch and PC, also compatible with PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S.

Watch the launch trailer here:

In DRAGON BALL: THE BREAKERS, players can choose between joining a team of seven Survivors and try to escape and survive, or impersonating the powerful Raider and impede the Survivors’ escape. Survivors are regular civilians caught in a “Temporal Seam”, a phenomenon trapping them in a place where space and time are in disarray. They will have to rely on their wits, items scattered through the map and cooperation with fellow survivors in order to activate the Super Time Machine and escape the Raider. If they choose to play as a Raider, players will embody one of the iconic antagonists from Dragon Ball such as Cell, Majin Buu or Frieza. Each of them will become more dangerous as the game progresses, evolving into new powerful forms and destroying parts of the map reducing the chances for Survivors to hide.

DRAGON BALL: THE BREAKERS is available in three different editions:

• The Standard edition, only available digitally
• The Special Edition is available both in retail and digital and contains the full game as well as the Special Edition Pack with a Customizable costume, the “Two-Handed Good” victory pose and the “Dragon (Yellow)” vehicle skin.
• The Limited Edition will be exclusive to the Bandai Namco Store. In addition to the content from the Special Edition, the Limited Edition will have a Steelbook, 3 Raider stickers and the Cell Shell Figure, as well as the “Potara (Green)” in-game accessory, which is an exclusive Bandai Namco Store bonus, and will be available for other players later.

DRAGON BALL: THE BREAKERS will receive continuous support after release with seasonal new content and updates to delight fans!
