Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero Competes with Call of Duty

Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero is giving Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 a run for its money. This iconic manga and anime series has garnered a devoted fanbase since its debut in 1984, keeping it at the forefront of pop culture. Its enduring popularity has paved the way for numerous games, including the highly anticipated Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero.

As the fourth entry in the beloved Budokai Tenkaichi series, Sparking Zero boasts stunning graphics, spectacular special moves, and expansive, destructible arenas. The game will feature characters from Dragon Ball GT, Dragon Ball Super, and various franchise films, offering players an impressive roster to choose from.

The excitement surrounding Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero is palpable, as evidenced by its pre-order performance. As showcased by DrLove on Twitter, Sparking Zero has surpassed Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 in pre-sales. All three digital editions of this fighting game are outpacing Call of Duty on the PlayStation Store when sorted by best-selling titles.

This trend highlights the strong anticipation for Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero, positioning it as a potential frontrunner for one of the top games of the year. October 11 promises to be a monumental day for Dragon Ball enthusiasts, as it coincides with the release of Dragon Ball Daima.

Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero Surpasses Call of Duty on PS5

Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero is set to feature an extensive roster of 182 characters at launch. Players will find beloved characters like Goku and Vegeta alongside lesser-known options like Dr. Wheelo and a Frieza Force Soldier. Additionally, it has been confirmed that Sparking Zero will receive downloadable content (DLC) post-launch, further expanding the character lineup. This ensures that fans will have even more options to look forward to as the game evolves.

However, Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero isn’t the only anime-inspired fighting game in the pipeline. Gamers can also anticipate Bleach: Rebirth of Souls, slated for release next year. This brawler will cover the anime's Arrancar saga and feature fan-favorite characters from the early Bleach days. Fans of both anime and fighting games should keep an eye out for Hunter X Hunter: Nen X Impact, a three-on-three fighter showcasing characters from the Hunter X Hunter universe.

Although Hunter X Hunter: Nen X Impact faced a recent delay, its release is expected to invigorate the fighting game landscape in 2025. For enthusiasts of both anime and competitive fighting games, it's an exciting time as their favorite characters prepare to clash on screen and vie for supremacy.
