Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 is Grandly Celebrated
Over the years, the Dragon Ball franchise has seen a multitude of games hit the market, spanning across various genres, from 3D arena fighters to action RPGs that follow the legendary journey of Goku. Among this extensive library of Dragon Ball titles, one series that has managed to captivate the hearts of fans with its unique approach to the Dragon Ball universe is the Xenoverse series. The original Dragon Ball Xenoverse first graced the gaming world in 2015. It introduced players to a truly original storyline and the remarkable opportunity to craft their own customizable characters. In this game, players assume the role of Time Patrollers, entrusted with safeguarding the timeline and preserving the course of events in Goku’s epic saga.
In 2016, to the delight of fans, Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 made its debut, and it has continued to maintain its popularity through the years. As we enter the year 2023, Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2, often referred to as DBXV2, remains a thriving game, receiving regular updates and content additions. And now, the game is taking an exciting step forward into the future. Fans of Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 can look forward to a new and substantial free update scheduled for release on October 12. This update will introduce the Festival of Universes event, a novel multiplayer battle mode known as Cross Versus, and much more.
To celebrate this significant development, Jun Song, the Producer of Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2, has provided insights into the game and the forthcoming update. His comments reflect a deep appreciation for the player community and a commitment to delivering an enriching gaming experience. Song expressed his gratitude to the players who have continued to support and enjoy Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2, a game that has maintained its appeal over seven years since its initial release. He acknowledged the challenge of consistently meeting players’ expectations over an extended period and emphasized the development team’s dedication to keeping the game close to its players.
Throughout its lifespan, Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 has seen approximately 17 free updates, introducing new Raid Quests, customizable items, and various other content elements. Yet, in the realm of updates and events, there remains a challenge in discerning the types of content sought after, their popularity, and how players engage with them. This intricate balance has been a driving force behind the game’s growth and resilience. One of the key challenges faced by a game like Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2, which has been running for an extended period, is bridging the gap between new and existing players, who may differ in experience and opportunities to play. To address this issue, the concept of “Cross Versus” content was conceived.
Cross Versus is a fresh battle mode where two teams, each composed of three members, compete against one another. The core objective is for each team to accumulate mission points in various map areas to unlock a boss arena. All participants begin at the same level and must progress during the battle. The path to becoming stronger depends on individual strengths and preferred play styles, which can be customized throughout the match. The mode also features mechanisms for interfering with the opposing team’s actions, making it crucial to assess the overall battle scenario and contribute effectively to the team’s success.
