It’s a mouthful
There’s a newDragon Ball Zgame in the works, and it’s based on theSuper Dragon Ball Heroesanime.
Bandai Namco has just announcedSuper Dragon Ball Heroes World Missionas part of itsDragon BallGames Super Showcase. This new game will release on PC and Switch on June 22, 2025 — just under three months’ time.World Missionis described as a “tactical role-playing card game,” with over 1,000 cards and 350 characters from the greaterDragon Balluniverse. A price has not yet been revealed.
Bandai Namco describes the plot by saying “Super Dragon Ball Heroes World Missiontakes place in Hero Town, an alternate reality where aDragon Ballcard game is the most popular form of entertainment that’s played both at amateur and professional levels. Players take the role as Beat, the protagonist ofSuper Dragon Ball Heroes World Mission, and follow his journey to become the world champion ofSuper Dragon Ball Heroes. However, when the antagonists from the virtual game world appear in Hero Town and start wreaking havoc, Beat jumps into the game world and teams up with famousDragon Ballcharacters to restore peace in the real world.”
Because this is a collectible card game, there’s a multiplayer component. Marketing materials emphasize that players can “take the battle online,” but also says there’s local ad hoc gameplay between two Switch devices. It’s currently unknown whether either or both platforms support online play.
