*Releasing worldwide excluding certain regions. *Release date may vary by region.
In anticipation of the upcoming release of this amazing game, we've got brand new info on a new Raider, Frieza, and the Bulma character skin! Plus, we've got comments from the game's producer and lead developer!
Dragon Ball: THE BREAKERS is an online asymmetrical action game that allows players to experience what the overwhelming difference in power between regular people and those with the kind of extraordinary abilities only found in Dragon Ball would feel like! Matches consist of an incredibly powerful enemy "Raider" and a team of seven regular "Survivors".
Raiders will evolve as they clear certain objectives, granting them new powers and abilities they can utilize! Their primary goal is to wipe out all the Survivors on the map.
Meanwhile, Survivors can make use of various items and skills hidden around the field to help them escape. While Survivors don't possess any powers on their own, if they equip Dragon Balls and fulfill certain conditions, they can transform into one of the franchise's iconic heroes in order to oppose the Raider!
You can also combine different parts to customize your Survivor the way you like or equip Survivor skins to take on the appearance of various Dragon Ball characters.
Comment From the Producer
It's been about half a year since we held the closed beta test December last year and we got a lot of valuable feedback and data that we used to help us continually fine tune the game and now we're finally approaching the official launch date. I'm incredibly excited to be able to share the release date and more new information with all of you.
This game was developed with the idea of letting players experience the overwhelming gap in power between regular people and those with extraordinary abilities found only in the world of Dragon Ball and we worked tirelessly to make that a reality while making sure the game was fun to play.
In the upcoming beta test we have planned, we hope you'll take note of not only the new characters but also the new features and improvements we've implemented as you play.
There's less than three months left until the game officially launches but we're looking for any and all ways we can make the game even more fun between now and release day. We hope all of you are looking forward to playing and enjoying the game.
Thank you so much for your interest in Dragon Ball: THE BREAKERS.

The new Raider is none other than the tyrannical space emperor Frieza and he's on the attack! You'll start the match in his First Form and evolve all the way to his Fourth Form and you can dramatically fill up the gauge needed to evolve with "rage".
Frieza is a technique-type Raider whose key to victory lies in using enemy searching and attack skills! If you use his Scouter skill, only available in his first form, you can search for enemies within a certain radius. He also has the handy "Zarbon!" "Dodoria!" skill that allows him to both search for and attack Survivors!
With each new form, you'll be able to use more powerful skills and super attacks. His Fourth Form's Ultimate Super Attack, "This Planet Will Die", will allow him to level an extensive part of the field to nothing!
Developer Comments
Frieza is powerful even in his First Form, and now you can experience what it must have felt like in the anime when he hunted down the Namekians and took their Dragon Balls with Zarbon and Dodoria in tow.
If you manage to summon Shenron as Frieza you can wish for immortality, meaning you'll watch to grab all the Dragon Balls from the Survivors. Plus, his finishing animation in his Fourth Form has been recreated from a certain famous scene in the anime…!
Now's your chance to become the evil tyrant yourself and enjoy the terrifying strength someone with a power level of 530,000 possesses!

Survivors can take on the appearance of Bulma, the young girl who searched for the Dragon Balls alongside Goku and Oolong, in her iconic Arabian-styled outfit!
Bulma has some convenient and characteristic skills. One of her skills is "Capsule (Single-Wheel Motorbike)", which can go much faster than a regular motorbike. Another is her "Charming Pose" which will temporarily stop the Raider dead in their tracks!
Developer comments
Bulma has been around since the very beginning and has managed to survive in the face of so many enemies with unfathomable strength.
Naturally these character skins don't grant any powerful special attacks, but the skills they can use and the way in which they run from the Raiders is inspired by how those characters behaved in the original series.
Of course, I want anyone playing as Bulma to work with the other Survivors so everyone can make it to safety, just like in the anime! However, while players are controlling her, I also want them to feel the same type of panic the real Bulma must have felt when she encountered one intimidatingly powerful enemy after the other.
