Bandai Namco's Dragon Ball Xenoverse will give fans of Akira Torayama's manga and anime series the chance to play with their own original, customizable character and "dive into Dragon Ball history" with that character for the first time.
At a pre-Tokyo Game Show press event, Masahiro Kashino of developer Dimps Corporation confirmed that players will be able to create custom playable characters in Dragon Ball Xenoverse and interact with established characters, like Goku and Vegeta. Players will be able to customize their character's race, gender, head, weight and costumes.
And because players will be able to play as women Saiyan, Xenoverse will give many fans the chance to see a female Super Saiyan in action for the first time.
"I'd like the Dragon Ball fans' dreams come true in this game," Kashino said during a presentation at Bandai Namco. "In Japan, all the children are practicing the kamehameha in their bedrooms... all of them! In this game, your dreams come true, you can make your own character and do the kamehameha."
In Xenoverse, the history of Dragon Ball has been altered. In the battle between Goku, Raditz and Piccolo, Kid Gohan's attack on Raditz is dodged and Piccolo's special beam cannon attack manages to strike only Goku. The player, summoned by the dragon Shenron, is tasked with traveling through the Dragon Ball timeline and correcting history.
