Many combat games remain alive for years thanks to the constant updates that renew the gameplay, and the competitive Dragon Ball FighterZ It could not be the exception of the rule.
The producer of Bandai Namco has ruled on this during the finals of the Dragon Ball FighterZ World Tour 2020, announcing the important changes that are coming for the third year of the game.
You can find his words (courtesy of Gematsu) then:
Today, I have new information that I wanted to share with you. Dragon Ball FighterZ will enter its third year, and I would like to talk a little about how we plan to upgrade the battle system.
The general concept of the third season is to offer users a new experience. While keeping what is right as it is, we will add new features and settings to give everyone a new version.
An example is "Selection of assistance Z". Once this system is implemented, users will be able to select a character's Attack. Each character has three different assistance attacks, and users can choose from all three on the character selection screen. With this, you can develop new ways to connect combos and create strategies, giving users a broader way to enjoy fights.
We will also implement different battle settings, but our overall goal is to create a situation in which different players use many different characters. "Selection of assistance Z" is an example. We wanted to avoid a situation in which users had to choose a specific character only for their Z Assistance, or just for the size of their character, and allow users to express and show more of their individuality with the characters they choose and the shape In what fight.
We also plan to make adjustments that avoid unilateral games caused by attacks and specific powerful combinations, as well as adjustments that give users the opportunity to turn the game around, even if they only have one character left. We will implement a specific function for this, so we hope that the players try it and let us know what they think.
And nothing has been written in stone for the next topic, but during the second season of Dragon Ball FighterZ, we didn't make any adjustments to the battle system after the world tour began. However, for the third season, we would like to consider making adjustments during the season if necessary. But instead of making small adjustments several times, we will most likely make a big update once. Again, this really depends on the situation during the third season, so nothing can be said at this time, but I wanted to take this opportunity to share our thoughts and goals.
You will also notice that we have changed the user interface and added new modes to give users a fresh experience.
