The opening for "Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2" has been released online. It will be the video that fans will watch when they start up the game.

It shows Time Patrol Trunks recruiting "Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2" players to join the Time Patrollers with Chronoa, the Supreme Kai of Time, laying the ground rules in Conton City.

The video revealed that "confidence in your capabilities" and the "strong desire to protect history" are the only requirements to be part of the league.

The "Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2" opening also detailed some of the strict rules to follow while at the hub, including the prohibition of using Kamehameha within city limits and obtaining flying licenses among others.

In other news, the closed beta for the PlayStation 4 version of the highly-anticipated fighting game, "Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2," is scheduled this week.
