While a new Xenoverse game or a new season of Dragon Ball FighterZ DLC are on the minds of the fans, I want to know if Bandai Namco will address the removal of DBFZ from Evo Japan and other tournaments. The competitive community is worried about the future of the game, as no news has been shared as to why the removal took place and, more importantly, if that removal is going to happen again. The appointment of longtime Tekken head Katsuhiro Harada to the head of Bandai Namco esports eases some concerns, but without official word from Bandai Namco all we can do is cross our fingers and wait. It would be a major shame for one of the most popular fighting games of the past year to grind to a halt, so we can only hope DBFZ gets another run in 2019.
