Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero DLC 'NEO' Launches July 30 With 33 New Characters

Bandai Namco Entertainment announced on July 23 that the 'Limit-Breaking Super Breakthrough NEO' DLC for Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero will launch on July 30, 2026, for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam. The DLC adds 33 new playable characters, including Chi-Chi, King Piccolo, Mercenary Tao, General Blue, Android 8, Nam, Grandpa Gohan, King Vegeta, Pikkon, Mighty Mask, Supreme Kai, Super Saiyan Bardock, Chilled, Super Android 17, Nuova Shenron, Jaco, Cheelai, Champa, and alternate versions of Goku, Tien, and Piccolo from the original Dragon Ball anime. A new solo mode, 'Path to Limit-Breaking' (also called 'Limit Breaker Journey'), lets players select a character, travel to destinations, fight battles, and level up. Characters consume stamina when moving, and lower stamina reduces starting health but yields more experience from tougher fights. The mode includes 'Battle Arts' for status enhancements, and improved stats carry over to other game modes. The DLC also adds over 20 new costumes and super attacks, four new stages, new Episode Battles for four characters, and more Extra Battles. A free update adds 'Sparking! Boost' and 'Chain Blasts' mechanics. Nintendo Switch 2 and Switch versions will receive the DLC at a later date.
