On January 17, 2020 Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot is launched, the work developed mainly by CyberConnect2 that is expected to bring a new depth to the way of treating the narrative of Akira Toriyama's work. The study, specializing in squeezing the dramatic component of its stories to the fullest - as it looked well in its work with the Naruto franchise -, will quickly become the new reference of Dragon Ball in video games, and it is not for less.
At its launch, Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 will already be on its way to its fourth year of activity, while Dragon Ball FighterZ will celebrate its second anniversary one week later. With this in mind, it seems clear that Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot has the whole margin of the world to take over the name of the franchise in 2020. It also seems logical to imagine that from Bandai Namco they will see something more comfortable being able to focus on two launches of Dragon Ball that not having to distribute his effort between three different names, being that of Xenoverse 2 the oldest of them all.
On the other hand, speculations about the expansions of Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot have long been ringing loudly in the networks, and most of these point to Dragon Ball Super. Obviously, at this point the Japanese company has not confirmed anything like that, but in the event that it happened, everything indicates that the expansion content of Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot would take priority over of other IP deliveries. However, in turn, we must not forget that this next Dragon Ball title has been oriented to the essence of a single player, which gives strength and connects with our next point.
To begin, it is necessary to say no: Bandai Namco is not going to suddenly 'hang' Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2. Except surprise the DLC will be a thing of the past, but it is certainly still a game that is worth 'cooking' Small additional content. However, the context of the franchise and the videogame sector favors that Dragon Ball Xenoverse 3 seems like a 'something' almost mandatory and in turn not far in time. Dragon Ball FighterZ in competitive, Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot for lovers of the original story and Dragon Ball Xenoverse 3 for those who want an almost endless Dragon Ball experience.
