Fans Have a Limited Time to Try Out New Dragon Ball Game for Free

The latest brand-new Dragon Ball video game was announced last August. Since then, we haven’t heard too much about the new battle arena game. But that’s all about to change as the newly unveiled Dragon Ball Gekishin Squadra hosts its first open play test! Gamers can check out the first team-based, free-to-play Dragon Ball game for free by opting in to the play test across Steam, PlayStation, and mobile platforms. This first chance to test drive the newest Dragon Ball game runs from June 11th to June 15th.

Bandai Namco shared the announcement trailer for Dragon Ball Gekishin Squadra just last week. So, it’s pretty exciting that gamers are already able to jump in and check out the team-based fighting action for themselves.

As you can see, Dragon Ball Gekishin Squadra immerses players in the world of Dragon Ball with 4 vs. 4 team battles. Several iconic characters, including Goku, Android 18, and Trunks, have already been revealed. Players will face off against one another and in-game bosses alike. Like many free-to-play fighting games, different characters will take on different roles, including Damage, Tank, and Technical options. And yes, there will be character skins, special animations, and more.

If the trailer and description for this new Dragon Ball game have you ready to jump into the action, you can! The game’s first network test is live now on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Steam, and mobile platforms. The test is expected to arrive on Nintendo Switch, as well, but ran into unexpected delays.
