"Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2" has been made official today, May 17, in a new trailer released by Bandai Namco scroll down to watch.
The trailer teases: "Your mission: protect the history of the Dragon Ball."
It follows the launch yesterday of a countdown website called "Fly Through Time" set up by publisher Bandai Namco and Toei Animation. The site now redirects to a Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 website.
According to iDigital Times, the URL "Fly Through Time" also refers to the very core of "Dragon Ball Xenoverse," wherein the player's mission is to fix certain events by travelling through the "Dragon Ball" timeline.
Curiously, Bandai Namco and Toei Animation are both involved in the development and release of "Dragon Ball" games.
The trailer was released on the YouTube page of Bandai Namco Entertainment America with this caption: "Dragon Ball XENOVERSE 2 is coming to PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC/Steam THIS YEAR! Be the first to get updates for the new game by signing up at www.DragonBallXENOVERSE2.com."
"Dragon Ball Xenoverse" is a fighting role-playing video game released February last year. The sequel is rumored to be inspired by the ongoing "Dragon Ball Super" anime.
Sean Schemmel, the voice actor for Son Goku, previously teased his involvement in "Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2" during the Optimus Bristol Comic-Con.
"I do think there is going to be [a new game]. I can't confirm it yet but Chris [Sabat, "Dragon Ball Z" dub] called me and said there's gonna be a game coming out," he said via Saiyan Island.
"I'm thinking there's going to be some DLC or maybe another Xenoverse game I wouldn't be surprised. Xenoverse was so successful the publishing company would be stupid not to make another one just for the sake of the money," Schemmel added.
