A new set of images has confirmed 11 more characters for Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero's roster, which includes fighters from Dragon Ball Z and Super. The upcoming Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero is a return to the classic Budokai Tenkaichi series, where players can engage in 3D arena battles with some of their favorite characters. One of the most important aspects of the series is its roster, featuring both popular and obscure picks. For example, Budokai Tenkaichi 3 had 161 playable fighters that came from the original series, Z, GT, and even non-canon material like the movies. Sparking Zero has the potential to have one of the largest rosters in a Dragon Ball fighting game.
Dragon Ball FighterZ rollback netcode arrives this week
28.02.2024 - 18:49 / destructoid.com
After some time in development and testing, the Dragon Ball FighterZ rollback netcode update is here to Spirit Bomb the lag away. Those hoping to play some online matches without the delay-based netcode can start doing so, for certain platforms.
The Dragon Ball FighterZ rollback netcode patch will be available for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. However, devices like the PS4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch will still only feature a delay-based netcode mechanic. The Circle Party and Party Battle modes will also be limited to the delay-based netcode.
Rollback will go live for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S on February 29, when those consoles’ versions go live. It’s also headed to PC at the same time.
As for what the update actually does, it seeks to fix input lag and visual stuttering for compatible online matches through rollback netcode, resulting in much smoother gameplay. Bandai Namco mentions that it “feels closer to offline play” due to its quicker response system.
Unlike consoles, PC will get the option to choose between the rollback or delay-based netcode, depending on the matchmaking performance. Save data transfers are available as well, for those who want to make the switch to a newer console and its netcode.
Many online games have issued out rollback netcode updates in the past, to better the performance of online play. The system has been gradually adopted across fighting games as a preferable option for handling bouts over long distances, using predictive options rather than hitching the action. We’ve seen the likes of Samurai Shodown and Street Fighter 6 adopt rollback, to help with online lag. And now, Dragon Ball FighterZ has joined the rollback club.
Dragon Ball FighterZ unfortunately continues to not have cross-play functionality. But hopefully, rollback netcode will be a good move for keeping the online bouts of DBFZ going strong.

Rumor: Bandai Namco and Dragon Ball FighterZ Developer Are on Bad Terms
A recent rumor has claimed that Dragon Ball FighterZ developer Arc System Works and its publisher, Bandai Namco, have supposedly split ties. The latest update for Dragon Ball FighterZ was dropped near the end of February, adding rollback netcode to improve its online environment, as well as new PS5 and Xbox Series X/S versions. While these features were things fans had waited years for, gameplay clips show that the new update has broken the game in various ways.

Dragon Ball FighterZ Review (PS5) | Push Square
When Dragon Ball FighterZ first released in 2018 for PS4, it was hailed as one of the greatest anime fighting games ever made — and rightfully so. Crafted by the genre experts at Arc System Works, FighterZ was and still is a masterclass in how to adapt an existing franchise. The team-based brawler is both highly accessible on a fundamental level, and deeply technical — to the point where its competitive scene has stood strong for five whole years.
