Let’s be honest.

Who hasn’t thought that the renowned anime, Dragon Ball Z would make an amazing fighting game? I know I have, and I’m willing to bet that if you’re any king of anime, or fighting game fan, (or both) that you have as well.

Well, your prayers have been answered!

The masters of the 2D fighting genre, Arc System Works is delivering Dragon Ball Fighter Z, a 3 vs. 3 fighting game for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.

Although announced a couple of days ago via a press release, we got our first glimpse of actual Dragon Ball Fighter Z gameplay Sunday during Microsoft’s E3 2017 presentation.

As you can see in the trailer below, Dragon Ball Fighter Z drips authenticity to both the fighting genre, and its source material. In fact, the game in motion looks so good, one could say that it’s better than the anime ever was.

The characters burst to life like never before; slugging it out in a fighting experience that appears to combine elements of Arc System Works‘ previous works like Guilty Gear or BlazBlue, with the frenetic tagging action found in the venerable Marvel vs Capcom series.

Dragon Ball Fighter Z will be launched in early 2018.
