‘Coming this autumn’
Remember when people found evidence ofDragon Ball Z: Kakarotcoming to Switch,and Bandai Namco denied it? Then it waspromptly announced for Switch a few months after? Good times.
Well it definitely does exist, and the publisherhas reconfirmed its launch dateof September 24 for the Switch platform. Note that the title of the game isDragon Ball Z: Kakarot + A New Power Awakens Set, denoting the DLC that will be available at launch.
What won’t be ready for launch however is theDragon Ball Card Warriorsexpansion, which was doled out as a free update for the prior versions of the game. Buried at the end of the new trailer below was a notice, stating that it was “coming this autumn for Nintendo Switch.”
If you’ve never seen this glorious little card minigame before, take a look at the video below and get acquainted.
Dragon Ball Card Warriorsis a fully-fledged card game buried withinKakarot, and could have been a standalone download release in another universe. The above overview is actually a perfect introduction, and shows how deep this well goes for a mode that was added as free DLC. It even has two forms of ranked play!
I actually think this might be a Trojan Horse for a future standalone. All of the characters inCard Warriorsare evergreen, andDragon Ballfans will get this the time of day no matter when it’s released. I just hope that if Bandai Namco does go down that road, it isn’t a monkey’s paw situation. No gacha or random paid packs please!
