Update []: As promised, Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero's big update is available to download now on PS5. It weighs in at 4.8GB.
Just to recap, the patch makes all of the game's stages playable in local versus mode, and makes some significant changes to the core combat system by adding new mechanics and adjusting others. You can find all the details in the original article below.
Original Story: This week, Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero will get its biggest update yet, and it features some highly requested improvements. It drops on the 12th December.
Kicking things off on a very positive note, local versus mode is getting a welcome upgrade: all stages are going to be made available when playing offline with a friend. Previously, only the Hyperbolic Time Chamber stage was playable, supposedly because of technical limitations — so it sounds like the developer has worked something out.
On top of that, significant balance adjustments are being made to combat. Basically, Sparking! Zero has problems when it comes to more advanced play. It was never designed to be a truly competitive fighter — but there are still certain mechanics and tactics that can be abused.
With that in mind, this update is clearly trying to overhaul the flow of battle — while also making some changes to the game's more… problematic characters.
