Another new roster of characters have been revealed to join the other heroes in the upcoming 2D game, Dragon Ball FighterZ, namely: Adult Gohan, Gotenks, and Kid Buu.

The news was initially revealed in the latest issue of the Japanese magazine, V-Jump. Aside from exclusive screenshots of each character, the magazine also detailed some of the characters' signature moves, which will be especially handy in the highly anticipated "Dragon Ball" fighting game. A special trailer featuring Gotenks was also released.

For Adult Gohan, his ultimate special would be the "Ultimate Kamehameha," which he can unlock depending on the amount of ki on his gauge. Kid Buu, which is Majin Buu's final form, can perform a variety of deadly attacks thanks to his highly elastic body, including "Planet Burst." Meanwhile, Gotenks, which is Trunk and Goten's fused form, can deliver his "Super Ghost Kamikaze Attacks" as well as his "Charging Ultra Buu Buu Volleyball."

Aside from the new roster of characters, the magazine also revealed the new Arcade Mode. According to V-Jump, players who will wade in Arcade must be able to win three levels, or "courses." If players are successful, they will be able to access the hard mode, where they can challenge other fighters.

Also, players who can manage to conquer the Arcade mode can unlock the in-game currency called "Zeni," which they can use to buy character color variations and titles in the in-game shop. "Zeni" can be earned through battle, meaning the more battles players won, the more "Zeni" can be gained. Although, other items sold in the shop are yet to be revealed.

With the announcement of Adult Gohan, Gotenks, and Kid Buu, "Dragon Ball FighterZ" now has over 21 characters revealed. The latest confirmed fighters are Captain Ginyu and Nappa, whom were revealed last month.

"Dragon Ball FighterZ" will be officially released on Jan. 26 next year on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC in North America and Europe. However, players who pre-purchased the Collector's Edition of the game as well as the digital copy from various PlayStation and Xbox stores can gain access to the upcoming open beta of the game.
