Back in March of this year, Bandai Namco announced that it was working on a brand new Dragon Ball Budokai Tenkaichi game.
Now, in an update, Dragon Ball fans have discovered that a trademark for “Sparking! Zero” was filed in the US late last month. The Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi series is known as Dragon Ball Z: Sparking! series in Japan and the original three titles include “Sparking!” on their behalf.
This led to speculation about the official title of the next game and a possible announcement in the near future:
Gematsu: “The trademark might suggest that the title of the game will be Dragon Ball Z: Sparking! Zeroat least in Japan, and that the next one will be released soon.”
At this point, all we know about this next game is that it’s still in the “early stages of development” and that no platforms or release date have been announced yet. Bandai Namco also showed a short teaser video of Goku in his Super Saiyan Blue form from the Dragon Ball Super series.
As previously stated, the Budokai Tenkaichi games began life in 2005 on the PlayStation with Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi. It was followed by Budokai Tenkaichi 2 in 2006 and Budokai Tenkaichi 3 in 2007, both of which were released on the Nintendo Wii.
