Only a few more weeks remain until Bandai Namco Entertainment finally releases their highly anticipated fighting role playing video game, "Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2."

With the game's impending launch, the company has now released a new teaser trailer that showcases the game's coop battles. The trailer shows how players can get the help of other Time Patrollers to take on big boss battles, which will be quite difficult if taken on alone.

The recently released trailer is expected to be the first of many video tutorials that will show players the ins and outs of the game's new modes. As for the trailer itself, it showcases the game's new "Expert Mission" gameplay where players must face off against a big boss, in this case in the form of the Great Ape Nappa.

The trailer also shows players how to successfully block this particular boss' "Brainwash Attack." If the attack hits, it automatically transports a player into the "World of Mind Control" where players must defeat their clone to escape the dimension and get back into the fight. With the help of other players, a successful dodge against the particular attack can also be achieved.

In related news, Bandai Namco has now officially announced the game's open and closed beta schedules which will be happening in the coming weeks. The closed beta will be open to PlayStation 4 players who had pre-ordered the game in the PlayStation Store. The slots for the closed beta will be limited to a select number of players. It will be held from Oct. 8 to Oct. 10. The open beta, on the other hand, will be open to all PlayStation 4 players on Oct. 14.

"Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2" will be first released on the Xbox One and the PlayStation 4 in North America on Oct. 25. This will be followed by a release in Europe on Oct 28. The European release will also coincide with the release of the game's PC version through Steam.
