Bandai Namco's highly anticipated Dragon Ball MOBA, Dragon Ball Project: Multi, has revealed a 2025 release window following a successful beta test. This article details the announcement and provides further insights into the game.
Dragon Ball Project: Multi – A 2025 MOBA Debut
Beta Test Results and Developer Acknowledgement
Dragon Ball Project: Multi, a team-based MOBA drawing from the popular Dragon Ball universe, is slated for a 2025 release, as officially announced on Twitter (X). While a precise release date remains unconfirmed, the Bandai Namco title is anticipated on Steam and mobile platforms. The recent regional beta test concluded, with developers expressing gratitude for player feedback: "Thank you for participating in the Regional Beta Test. Your valuable input will help us make the game even better."
Developed by Ganbarion (known for One Piece game adaptations), Dragon Ball Project: Multi features 4v4 battles. Players control iconic characters like Goku, Vegeta, Gohan, Piccolo, Frieza, and many more. The game's description highlights character progression: "Your heroes grow stronger throughout the match, allowing you to defeat enemy players and bosses." Extensive customization is promised, including skins, entrance, and victory animations.
The MOBA genre is a new direction for the Dragon Ball franchise, often associated with fighting games (like the upcoming DRAGON BALL: Sparking! ZERO from Spike Chunsoft). While the beta test yielded largely positive feedback, some concerns have emerged.
Reddit comments reveal mixed opinions. One player described the MOBA as "simple and short, similar to Pokemon Unite," but acknowledged it as "decent fun." However, another player criticized the in-game currency system, stating that a "store level" requirement based on in-app purchases made progression feel excessively grindy. Conversely, other players expressed positive sentiments, highlighting their enjoyment of the game.
