It didn’t take long for Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero to continue the success of the Budakai Tenkaichi series, as it was revealed last month that the game managed to sell over $3 million in just its first 24 hours. As a way of celebrating how popular the fighter has become since its release, Bandai Namco announced that tournament would be taking place to find the best players in the world.
Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero Dramatic Showdown will take place throughout November and December 2024. Teams can be composed of any combination of characters from the roster, as long as they have a maximum of 15 DP.
The tournament will consist of a series of online national tournaments, and players from the following regions can enter:
- United States
- Mexico
- Japan
- France
- Italy
- Germany
- United Kingdom
- Spain
The top nine players will qualify for a spot in the Grand Final. An additional seven participants will also be selected during a 2-day physical event from seven individual tournaments that will take place at Dragon Ball Games Battle Hour 2025 in Los Angeles on January 18, 2025.
Those 16 players will then compete in the Grand Final in Los Angeles the next day to determine the winner. The entire final day of the event will be streamed live on Twitch as well.
Anyone interested in registering for Dramatic Showdown can head to the official website for more information. Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero is available now on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC (Steam), starting at $69.99.
