DRAGON BALL XENOVERSE 2 frames its battles around a time-spanning Dragon Ball adventure. Players create an original fighter, explore Conton City, and work with familiar characters as a student training to help rescue the flow of history. The premise gives its fights a purpose beyond proving who is strongest: the player’s avatar is part of a story about protecting the series’ timelines and locations.
Character building is central to that role. The game lets players customize their fighter’s race, appearance, abilities, and moveset, then take that creation into intense one-on-one fights or battles against multiple enemies. Its blend of avatar customization, recognizable Dragon Ball settings, and history-focused adventure distinguishes it from a roster-only fighting format. The store description also notes a large body of expansions, including additional characters and storylines, with some content sold separately.
Play can move between solo progression and several online formats, including battles against other players and cooperative Raid Battles against gigantic foes; the listed features also include co-op and PvP.
