Dragon Ball Z Kakarot + A New Power Awakens Set

Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot is an action role-playing game developed by CyberConnect2 and published by Bandai Namco Entertainment, based on the Dragon Ball franchise. It was released for PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Windows in January 2020, Nintendo Switch in September 2021, Stadia in October 2021, PlayStation 5 in January 2023, and Xbox Series X/S in February 2023. The game follows the main protagonist Goku and the Z-Fighters throughout the events of the Dragon Ball Z anime, including anime-original storylines and moments. Kakarot is primarily an action role-playing game with fighting game elements. 

The player can battle opponents and do activities like fishing, collecting Z orbs, eating, driving in a hover car, training, and putting characters in soul emblems. The game’s plot follows the progression of the anime series, as the player interacts with the surrounding world as the different playable characters. Players can explore the world and complete side quests to progress the story. The game is broken up into four storylines: the Saiyan Saga, the Frieza Saga, the Cell Saga (where the player acquires their hover car), and the Buu Saga. Bonus storylines can be purchased as downloadable content; including a retelling of the Battle of Gods and the Resurrection ‘F’ storylines seen in Dragon Ball Super. 

A DLC original storyline set after the events of Dragon Ball Z: The History of Trunks, featuring Future Trunks’ confrontation with Babidi to prevent Majin Buu’s awakening (a scenario briefly covered in both the Super Anime and Manga), was released on June 11, 2021. There are seven playable characters in Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot that the player will guide throughout the story. These include Goku, Vegeta, Gohan, Piccolo, Future Trunks, Gotenks, and Vegito. As the player progresses through the game, they will unlock new characters to play.
