'Dragon Ball FighterZ' open-beta introduces new form of Android 21

Official system requirements for upcoming fighting game "Dragon Ball FighterZ," released by Bandai Namco Twitter/Bandai Namco US

"Dragon Ball FighterZ" is one of the most-anticipated games this year. Developer Bandai Namco held a beta testing wherein a new character was introduced.

The official Twitter account of Bandai Namco announced that the open beta testing will be extended for another day. It started on Jan. 17 at 9 p.m. and will end on Jan. 18 at 5 p.m. There will also be a second round of beta testing that will last 24 hours. After that, gamers will be waiting for the official release on Jan. 26.

The previous beta of the game let the players use Goku, Android 18, Cell, Frieza, Beerus, Gohan, Kid Buu, Krillin, Vegeta, Nappa, and Piccolo. But aside from them, a new playable character is added to the game, which is Android 21, according to reports.

A new issue of Japanese magazine V-Jump confirmed that Android 21 will be an additional playable character in the entire game. Prior to the beta testing, there were already reports about the new character, and fans were pleased because of her beautiful design.

Android 21 is one of the game's villains, and she is being compared to Android 18. In her basic form, she is a slim human-looking woman with brown hair and glasses. But she changes her look during combat. The fierce beauty transforms into someone similar to Majin Buu.

Her skin turns pink, while her brown hair turns white. Aside from that, her eyes become red and she grows a tail. The clothing of the game's 24th playable character is similar to that of Majin Buu. She can absorb another fighter's energy and use their fighting moves. For instance, if Android 21 will absorb Goku's energy, she can also do the Kamehameha.

"Dragon Ball FighterZ" will launch for PS4, Xbox One, and PC on Jan. 26. To prepare players for the game, Bandai Namco recently shared the minimum and required specs of the game, which is based on the "Dragon Ball" anime.
