Dragon Ball Project: Multi - A 2025 Launch

Beta Test Completion and Fan Appreciation

The developers of Dragon Ball Project: Multi, a team-based 4v4 MOBA drawing from the beloved Dragon Ball universe, recently concluded a regional beta test. The official Twitter (X) account announced a 2025 release window for the game, slated for release on Steam and mobile platforms. The development team expressed sincere gratitude to beta testers for their valuable feedback, stating that player input will be instrumental in enhancing the game's overall experience.

Developed by Ganbarion, known for their work on One Piece game adaptations, Dragon Ball Project: Multi offers players the chance to control iconic characters like Goku, Vegeta, Gohan, Piccolo, Frieza, and many more. Character strength increases throughout gameplay, allowing for powerful clashes against both players and bosses. Extensive customization is also promised, featuring diverse skins, unique entrance animations, and impressive finishing moves.

Initial Reactions and Community Feedback

The MOBA genre represents a departure from the traditionally fighting-game-centric Dragon Ball adaptations (like the upcoming DRAGON BALL: Sparking! ZERO from Spike Chunsoft). While the beta test generated largely positive feedback, some concerns have been raised. Reddit users have described the game as "incredibly simple" and "short," comparing it to Pokémon Unite, although acknowledging it's "decent fun."

However, criticism has been leveled at the in-game currency system. One player cited the "store level" requirement tied to in-app purchases as a significant drawback, deeming it overly grindy and potentially pushing players towards spending money. Conversely, other players expressed overall positive sentiments.
