Minecraft surprise drops a full-blown Dragon Ball Z fighting game with 1v1, 5v5, and co-op modes, voxelized Goku and buff Bulma, and skins for the main game

Minecraft has unexpectedly launched a Dragon Ball Z crossover DLC, featuring a comprehensive fighting game along with skins to don outside the combat arena.

On Minecraft’s official site, creator Mojang proclaimed that the Minecraft Dragon Ball Z DLC, crafted by Cyclone, is now accessible on the Minecraft Marketplace. Priced at 1510 in-game coins, or roughly $8.99, it encompasses a 5v5 mode, co-op play, and single rounds, along with a collection of themed skins for the primary game. You can observe everything in action in the trailer embedded just below:

The lineup of 11 combatants features beloved villains and heroes such as Goku, Vegeta, Piccolo, Gohan, Frieza, Trunks, Krillin, Android 18, Cell, Android 17, and Majin Buu, each possessing distinct abilities. Goku boasts his Kamehameha and Ki blasts, while Vegeta wields his Galick Gun and Ultimate Final Flash… you grasp the concept. You unlock characters progressively by vanquishing them in battles.

In keeping with tradition, you’ll engage in the World Martial Arts Tournament and ascend the ranks by battling in iconic venues from the manga and anime series like the Cell Games Arena and Planet Namek, while additional locales like Kami’s Temple will be utilized for character selection. Simultaneously, you can also relax and recharge at Capsule Corporation.

In addition to the combat zone, the DLC provides a skin pack allowing you to attire as various DBZ icons like the aforementioned fighters, including a impressively muscular Bulma and others. Ultimately, a limited-time Scouter headband is available as part of the collaboration. This enables you to gauge the power levels of both allies and opponents, naturally, at “over 9000.”

Mojang is finally disclosing all of Minecraft: Java Edition’s code after 16 years to “facilitate quicker and easier mod creation and enhancement”

I achieved my significant break here in 2019 with a freelance news position and was brought on as GamesRadar’s west coast Staff Writer in 2021. This role entails managing the site’s western regional operations, also known as my home office, and reporting on whatever horror game I’m too intimidated to complete.
