However, it was then announced that the Nintendo Switch would also be getting the ability to have Dragon Ball FighterZ call itself home. Now, Bandai Namco has announced that the open beta for the upcoming version of Dragon Ball FighterZ will be coming in August and that it will be bringing two brand new game modes to the title.
