Dragon Ball FighterZ Announces Free Update - New Stage, Ranks, Halloween Items

Bandai/Namco posted the above trailer earlier, announcing a free Dragon Ball FighterZ update coming to players soon. Among the myriad of additions is a new stage, new avatars, new Ranked match ranks, and Halloween-themed stamps and costume colors. 

Galactic Arena

The Galactic Arena serves as a mix between Marvel Vs. Capcom's Danger Room and Street Fighter V's Ring of Destiny stages - a celebration of martial arts with some screens that seem to gauge the combat potential of the participants on-screen. This is the first "new" stage within DBFZ, as none were added with each of the first 3 DLC packs. 

New Ranks

New ranks for the game's Ranked match mode have been announced as well. These titles all seem to take on a Dragon Ball Super theme, with "Zen-oh" being the ultimate prize - the highest rank. We're not sure where exactly Bandai/Namco will go from there if they want to add future titles, but maybe that question will be answered within the new Dragon Ball Super movie? 

Seasonal Z-Capsules

Seasonal Z-Capsules will also be making their way to Dragon Ball FighterZ. Among the potential unlockables are Z-Stamps, Lobby Avatars, and even Halloween-themed costume colors for playable characters. One of Frieza's colors can be seen below:

This promises to be the first of many free updates to the game, which hopefully means more content coming to Dragon Ball FighterZ throughout the next few months. With seasonal Z-Capsules being a thing, we can probably expect a Thanksgiving and Christmas update, among others (Valentine's Day pink and St. Patrick's Day green colors will hopefully also follow.) Not to mention potential new stages and content based on the upcoming Dragon Ball Super movie, which will hit theatres in Japan on December 14, then the United States on January 16. 

While we wait for all this new content, this might be a great time to check out the character trailer for  Cooler to get hyped!
