Last week, Beerus, Hit, and Goku Black were revealed in the Japanese magazine, Shonen Jump. Today, Bandai Namco released a gameplay video to show these three characters in action as well as a few new surprises.
One of these additions highlighted is the introduction to special dramatic cutscenes during certain moments of the game or if certain finishing moves are used against specific characters. These cutscenes could be anything from Goku becoming Super Saiyan for the first time, to Kid Buu being obliterated by a spirit bomb.
Bandai Namco also gave information on the Shenron System, where players earn Dragon Balls by performing combos against the other players. If all seven Dragon Balls are received, they will have the option to choose from the following four wishes:
- Restore my health: Restore your character to full health.
- Bring back my ally: One of your lost ally returns with 50% of their health.
- Give my ultimate power: Boost your Ki gauge to MAX.
- Make me immortal: Restore 50% of your health, auto-restore your energy gauge.
