'Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2' updates: PAX West gameplay footage teases customizations, locations and moves

A screenshot from "Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2" Steam

Gameplay footage for "Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2" was shown by Bandai Namco Entertainment at the recently concluded PAX West event in Seattle.

In the clip, which was eight and half minutes long although it was not pure gameplay, Goku and Super Saiyan 4 Vegeta brawled it out at the World Tournament Stage as a huge crowd watched.

The two "Dragon Ball" superstars took their scuffle to air, which definitely gives fans that battle vibe in the anime. Goku and Super Saiyan 4 Vegeta were in fact rarely on the ground.

There were options for Vegeta to use Meteor Crash (a rush attack mostly used by Super Saiyans 4), and some of the character's signature moves – the Galick Gun and the Big Bang Attack. Maximum Charge for preparing Ki was also available.

At some point in the "Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2" footage, Super Saiyan 4 Vegeta had access to his ultimate attacks Final Flash and Final Shine Attack as well as the Spread Shot Retreat.

In another battle showcase, Time Patroller was pit against Trunks where they battled in Hell. The former can do Super God Fist, Bending Kamehameha and Super Destructo-Disc. Maximum Charge is also available.

Other and much more powerful available attacks and transformations for Time Patroller in "Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2" include Angry Explosion, Super Kamehameha, Special Beam Blast, and Super Saiyan, which the character used during the battle.

The clip also showed some of the arenas to be featured in "Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2." These include the Planet Namek, Archipelago, Wasteland, Hell and the Tree of Might.

Another notable takeaway from the "Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2" gameplay footage is customizable movesets and combos.

It was also revealed that progressing through the story will also unlock more customizations, cutscenes and other goodies that are not to be divulged just yet.

In other related news, Goku Black, the villainous Goku lookalike from "Dragon Ball Super," will be made available for purchase in "Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2" as opposed to being pre-order exclusive.

"Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2" will be available in North America on Oct. 25 for Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC.
