Sparking ZERO FAQ

  1. When is DRAGON BALL: Sparking! ZERO release date?
    October 11, 2024
  2. What are the breakthroughs in DRAGON BALL: Sparking! ZERO!
    Sparking ZERO was developed with the goal of allowing players to take on the role of the game’s characters. Sparking ZERO utilizes the hardware performance of the new-generation console platforms to allow the game to show the subtle changes in the environment in detail. For example, when the character is accumulating power, the surrounding airflow will cause sand and rocks to blow the grass and trees. The weather will also change dynamically during the battle. The environment will also be destroyed when the character performs powerful moves. This allows players to fully experience the power of a super warrior.
  3. Do game levels have boundaries?
    The levels in DRAGON BALL: Sparking! ZERO are basically round fields with borders. When the player operates the character and approaches the border, the player will be reminded through the screen effect. However, because the area of ​​​​the field is very large, players may not feel the existence of boundaries during the entire battle.
