Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero DLC Revealed Via Steam Backend

Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero developers Bandai Namco Games and Spike Chunsoft are seemingly planning some downloadable content for the fan-favorite fighting game not already announced.

As reported by ComicBook, the Steam backend has been updated to reference a new DLC called the Martial Arts Pack. This is listed on SteamDB alongside already announced extra content including the Season Pass and Ultimate Edition bonuses, the Anime Music Packs 1 and 2, and the upgrade and preorder packs.

No details on what's included in the pack were revealed on the SteamDB page but Reddit user Zeucleio discovered its contents through a companion book released for the game in Japan today, October 10. According to their post, the book contained a bonus code which unlocks the Martial Arts Pack in-game, despite no official word from Bandai Namco Games or Spike Chunsoft.

The contents of the pack were therefore revealed, and it includes early unlocks of Bardock, Future Gohan, Future Gohan SSJ, and Bardock's Z costume, alongside the Super Sparking ability item.

As mentioned, neither developer nor publisher Bandai Namco has commented on this DLC officially or if it will be made available beyond this companion book.

Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero launched October 8 for anyone who preordered (and otherwise launches October 11) and is proving a hit with Dragon Ball fans, with many appreciating its evident love for the series through features like Encyclopaedia Mode.

One fight is proving particularly tough, however, as Great Ape Vegeta has the coveted combination of random, unrelenting, and rapid attacks that all do big damage. Players are pulling their hair out at its difficulty and placement relatively early on in the game's campaign, though Bandai Namco has assured it's okay to lower the difficulty and move on.
