While yesterday’sDragon Ball Games Super Showcasedidn’t house any jaw-dropping announcements, many hardcore fans were happy to hear thatSuper Dragon Ball Heroes: World Mission, a new game based on the popular Japanese arcade cabinet, was actuallycoming west for PC and Nintendo Switch this April. Now, a day after the western release’s announcement, Bandai Namco Entertainment America released the first localized screenshots of and provided more details aboutSuper Dragon Ball Heroes: World Missionand its story.
As some of you may know,Super Dragon Ball Heroes: World Missionis only the latest game in theSuper Dragon Ball Heroesseries. Several other versions of the game released in Japan in the arcade and on 3DS but those unfortunately never made it westward. Bandai Namco Brand Manger Religioso still thinksSuper Dragon Ball Heroes: World Missionwill “surely delight everyDragon Ballfan who loves a challenge,” in the west with its card-based strategy gameplay.
Apparently, the game is set in a place called Hero Town where a card game based onDragon Ballis one of the alternate reality’s biggest pastimes. Players control a character named Beat who tries to defend Hero Town from some evil characters that have come out of the game by going into the card game and teaming up with classic Dragon Ball characters.
Because of this otherworldly setup,Super Dragon Ball Heroes: World Missionwill actually feature characters fromDragon Ball Z, Dragon Ball GT, Dragon Ball Xenoverse,andDragon Ball Super. In total, the game will feature over 1160 cards featuring over 350 different characters. You can check out Mark Religioso’s full thoughts on briningSuper Dragon Ball Heroes: World Missionwest below:
