DRAGON BALL XENOVERSE 2

Overview

2016’s DRAGON BALL XENOVERSE 2 is an action-adventure with multiplayer at its core, set in a larger, more detailed Dragon Ball world. You build an avatar, shape that fighter’s look and moves, and then throw them into battles that pull from the series’ locations, characters, and timelines. It’s a loud, busy setup, and that’s the point.

Conton City is your base, but the game keeps pushing you outward into story battles, training, and online showdowns. The custom character focus is the big hook: race, appearance, abilities, and moveset all sit in your hands. Around that, there’s co-op, PvP, online PvP, shared/split screen PvP, and raid battles, so the action does not stay politely in one lane.

Bandai Namco Entertainment published it, QLOC developed it, and the Windows version launched on Steam on 27 Oct, 2016. English is supported, alongside French, Italian, German, Spanish, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Japanese, Traditional Chinese, Korean, Simplified Chinese, and Spanish - Latin America. If you want Dragon Ball with plenty of room to tinker, this is that exact flavour.

Why play it

• Build a fighter that looks and fights like yours.
• Battle through Dragon Ball locations and timelines.
• Jump into solo, co-op, and PvP modes.
• Keep discovering new content through years of DLC.

Quick facts

Beginner walkthrough

Create your fighter first

The game starts with your own avatar, so begin by building a character that suits how you want to fight. You can customize race, appearance, abilities, and moveset, which means your fighter is not just a skin swap. That setup matters here because the game is built around making the character feel like yours before the first punch lands.

Use Conton City as your hub

Conton City is the place to explore between battles, train with characters from the series, and prepare for the next fight. The story sends you across different Dragon Ball locations and timelines, so the city acts as your anchor while the action keeps moving. It is a busy world, but at least it knows where home base is.

Choose the kind of battle you want

The game supports single-player, multi-player, MMO, PvP, online PvP, shared/split screen PvP, co-op, and online co-op. That gives you room to tackle fights alone, square off against other players, or team up for Raid Battles against gigantic foes. The online side is a major part of the experience, so a broadband internet connection is listed among the requirements.

Key characters

• your avatar custom fighter

  You create this character from scratch, shaping race, appearance, abilities, and moveset into a fighter that reflects your style.

• iconic characters series allies

  Famous Dragon Ball characters can teach you and help anchor the adventure in the wider series.

• gigantic foes raid enemies

  Raid Battles bring in massive threats that call for teamwork rather than a solo charge.

Our take

DRAGON BALL XENOVERSE 2 leans hard into its strongest idea: make your own fighter and hurl them into a crowded Dragon Ball playground. Between Conton City, story battles, and a wide spread of online modes, there’s plenty to do if you like building, brawling, and chasing familiar faces across the series’ timelines.
