Bandai Namco's Dragon Ball MOBA, Dragon Ball Project: Multi, is slated for a 2025 release following a successful beta test. This article delves into the announcement and game details.
Dragon Ball Project: Multi – A 2025 MOBA Launch
Beta Test Results and Developer Feedback
The official Twitter (X) account confirmed the 2025 release window for Dragon Ball Project: Multi, a 4v4 team-based MOBA. While a precise date remains unannounced, the game, published by Bandai Namco, is anticipated on Steam and mobile platforms. Developers expressed gratitude for beta testers' valuable feedback, promising to incorporate it for an enhanced gaming experience.
Developed by Ganbarion (known for One Piece game adaptations), Dragon Ball Project: Multi features iconic characters like Goku, Vegeta, Gohan, Piccolo, and Frieza. Character strength increases throughout gameplay, enabling powerful attacks against opponents and bosses. Extensive customization, including skins, entrance, and finishing animations, is also included.
The MOBA genre represents a departure for the Dragon Ball franchise, typically associated with fighting games (like the upcoming DRAGON BALL: Sparking! ZERO). While the beta received largely positive feedback, some concerns were raised. Reddit comments highlighted the game's simplicity, comparing it to Pokémon Unite, while praising its enjoyable gameplay.
However, criticism focused on the in-game currency system. One player described the "store level" requirement linked to in-app purchases as overly grindy, potentially pushing players towards spending money. Despite this, other players expressed overall positive sentiment.
