Bandai Namco Entertainment announced Thursday that the "Super Limit Breaking NEO" DLC for Dragon Ball: Sparking! ZERO launches July 30, bringing a major roster expansion and new gameplay features to the arena fighter.

The DLC adds 33 new characters spanning the Dragon Ball franchise. Additions include Chi-Chi, King Piccolo, Mercenary Tao, General Blue, Android 8, and alternate versions of Goku, Tien, and Piccolo from the original Dragon Ball series. Other new fighters include King Vegeta, Jaco, Champa, Pikkon, Supreme Kai, and both Nuova Shenron and Super Android 17.

Beyond characters, the DLC includes over 20 customizable costumes and super attacks, four new stages, additional Episode Battles for four characters, and more Extra Battles content.

A new solo mode called Limit Breaker Journey lets players select a character and travel to different destinations to fight and level up. Characters use stamina to move between locations, and starting battles with lower stamina results in reduced health—but also higher experience gains. Battle Arts throughout the mode provide status boosts that carry over to other game modes.

A free update arriving the same day adds two new mechanics. "Sparking! Boost" is a powered-up action that costs more Skill Stock to activate, while "Chain Blasts" let players switch in reserve allies to continue combos after an opponent is launched away.

Dragon Ball: Sparking! ZERO launched in October 2024 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam, with a Nintendo Switch 2 and Switch release following in November. The game is the latest entry in the Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi franchise of fighting games.
