Dragon Ball Fighters characters and adjustment apde distribution are not planned in the future. On the other hand, planning to support rollback net code

BANDAI NAMCO Entertainment announced on August 7 that there is no plan to distribute characters and updates for the fighting game Dagon Ball Fighters ** in the future. Although it can be received at the end of the development, it also shows the idea of responding to roll back net code.

Dragon Ball Fighters is a fighting game based on the manga and anime Dragon Ball. One of the attractions is 3D graphics that incorporates high-quality anime visuals by Ark System Works. It features a three-to-three team battle format, featuring a high-speed development like Dragon Ball and a system that allows you to put a combo out with easy operation.

This work was released in February 2018 for PC/PS4/Xbox One, and was transplanted in September for Nintendo Switch. As of November 2021, it sold 8 million copies. To date, many DLCs have been distributed, and playable characters from multiple original works such as Dragon Ball Super have been added. In addition, balance adjustments have been implemented at any time.

In this work, the World Tournament Dragon Ball Fighters World Tour will be held, and the first qualifying tournament will be held at EVO 2022. On the stage of EVO 2022, producer Tomoko Hiroki commented on the future of this work.

Mr. Hiroki stated that with the update of the other day, he thought that this work had reached a single completion, and that there would be no plans to update characters and update the character in the future. The update of the other day is probably Ver.1.31 distributed on June 29. The balance adjustment of the basic system and each character was implemented.

In this work, there are a total of 20 DLC characters. 44 characters have appeared together with 24 initial characters. And Android No. 21 (white coat) distributed in February this year seems to be the last additional character.

On the other hand, Mr. Hiroki said that he would like to have the player play this work more comfortably, and to respond to the roll-backed net code. Therefore, it seems that the development of this work does not completely end.

Roll backnet code is a technology for online matches (related article), which absorbs delay by adjusting the game screen drawing based on the input information of the opponent and its prediction. It is said that the comfort at a long-distance match is higher than the conventional delay system, and the voices of the desired fans are often heard overseas. In this announcement, the EVO 2022 venue was greatly boiled. By the way, the BANDAI NAMCTATATATATOL has been introduced in Tekken 7, and is also adopted in the Ark System Works GUILTY GEAR-STRIVE-.

According to Hiroki, the role backnet code for this work will be carried out only on PC and next-generation devices. A new version optimized for PS5/Xbox Series X | S seems to be released. In accordance with this, it will provide an upgrade from the PS4/Xbox One version to the next-generation machine version. He also mentions Xbox's smart delivery, so at least the Xbox One version seems to be a free upgrade. Details will be announced in the future.

• The in-game event of this work will continue to be held.
