Developer Dimps and publisher Bandai Namco have announced a new asymmetrical multiplayer game taking place in the Dragon Ball universe, Dragon Ball: The Breakers.

Per Bandai Namco’s press release:
Dragon Ball: The Breakers consists of seven-versus-one matches where seven normal “Survivors” have been sucked into a mysterious phenomenon called the “Temporal Seam” and must contend with the overwhelming power of the eighth player, the franchise iconic rival “Raider,” whose task is to obliterate the Survivor team. The Survivors don’t have any superpowers and must rely on various power-up items, weapons, and pilotable vehicles to battle and evade the Raider while searching for the Super Time Machine to escape oblivion. Concurrently, the Raider will be able to play as Cell, Buu, or Frieza and amass overwhelming power to destroy the Survivor team throughout the match, ensuring complete dominance.

Dragon Ball: The Breakers also features a Survivor character customization mode which enables players to design their match avatars by using familiar Dragon Ball Survivor skins and decorative equipment earned with in-game credits or via optional in-game purchases. Additionally, Dragon Ball: The Breakers will link save data with Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2.

Bandai Namco also included some detail on Dragon Ball: The Breakers’ story:

“Survive to live. Evolve to triumph.

Caught in by an unexpected temporal phenomenon, seven ordinary citizens find themselves stranded in a Temporal Seam: they share their imprisonment with the Raider, a menacing enemy from another timeline with an overwhelming power.

Their only hope for survival is to break out from the Temporal Seam with the Super Time Machine, but the Raider is on their tracks and becomes stronger minutes-by-minutes.

In a race against time the cunning of Survivors clashes with the power of the Raider, to break free or be broken.

Break Through or Break Down.

A Dead by Daylight-inspired multiplayer game where one player can mow people down as Perfect Cell is a unique spin on the Dragon Ball formula, and one that will hopefully find an audience in anime fans.

Dragon Ball: The Breakers will release on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Switch, and PC in 2022.
