Bandai Namco has released a new update for Dragon Ball: Sparking! ZERO. The patch is for the Nintendo Switch and Switch 2 versions, after the fighting game was released on both platforms at the end of last year.
The focus is on a new limited-time mode that should appeal to experienced players in particular. In addition, adjustments have been made to the Versus mode and the Custom Battle mode has been expanded. Minor improvements to stability and usability are also included in the package.
New Limited-Time Mode: “Extreme Warrior Attack”
The most important new feature is the new limited-time mode Extreme Warrior Attack. Here, players compete against opponents whose stats have been significantly increased.
The goal is clear: tougher battles, more pressure, and an additional challenge for those who already feel confident in the regular game.
The update does not specify how long the mode will remain active. However, it is clear that this is a limited-time feature.
“Battle Together”: Switch 2 gets access to all stages
There is also a noticeable change in the Battle Together versus mode. On the Switch 2, players can now select all stages. This applies regardless of whether the Switch 2 version is used or the normal Switch version is running on a Switch 2.
The only important thing is that the update is installed and the game is started on the Switch 2. This gives the Versus mode on the new console noticeably more scope.
Custom Battle expanded: New scenarios, cutscenes, and text options
Those who enjoy creating their own battles will also receive new material. The patch expands the Custom Battle mode with additional content. This includes new scenarios, additional cutscenes, and extra text options.
A complete list of the new building blocks is not provided, but one thing is clear: the mode will be further expanded and offer more scope for creative setups.
Stability and usability have also been improved
In addition to the new content, Bandai Namco also mentions general improvements.
These include adjustments to usability and increased system stability. This is a particularly relevant point for larger games, especially on the Switch.
Larger DLC already announced
A larger DLC package has already been confirmed. Additional playable characters, extra stages, and a new single-player mode are planned. Specific details, especially with regard to Switch and Switch 2, will follow later.
