Furthermore, talk of the town became Ultimate Gohan, who was seen fighting Goku Super Saiyan Rose, and Super Buu using his infamous Human Extinction Attack.

Just before Ultimate Gohan is revealed, we hear Piccolo’s popular quote, “sorry to keep you waiting.” It felt like Bandai Namco was addressing the fans, which felt great.

The game is releasing on June 21, 2025 and is currently available for pre-orders. Pre-ordering the game will grant access to characters like Super Saiyan Broly, Gogeta Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan, and more. There’s a mystery character as a part of pre-order too, that’ll be revealed later.
