"Dragon Ball FighterZ" will be coming out in just a few weeks. And, while a beta test happened months ago last September, recent reports have revealed that they are having another open beta this month.

The open beta will officially start on Jan. 14, Sunday, at 3 a.m. EST, and it will end at the same time two days later, on Jan. 16, Tuesday. Bandai Namco, the game's developers, shared in a tweet what the second open beta will have. It will even include two dramatic scenes, which, for those who do not know, is an in-game imitation of a scene from the anime, as long as conditions are met.

The 11 characters included in the game contains the seven which were also available during the first open beta. The four new ones are Nappa, adult Gohan, Beerus, and Kid Buu. The rest of the seven include Goku, Vegeta, Frieza, Kid Cell, Piccolo, Krillin, and Android 18. On the other hand, there are seven stages where these characters can be played on including Planet Namek, World Tournament Arena, West City, and others.

There are also several game modes people on the open beta can try out. Those trying the beta for the first time can select Battle Tutorial. They can customize a few things with the Lobby Avatar Customization before heading out to fight other players in the World Match. That said, they can then view Rankings as well.

Those who have pre-ordered a digital copy of the game on the PlayStation 4 (PS4) or the Xbox One get one extra day of open beta, as they can get it as early Jan. 13. Those who have pre-ordered a physical copy of the Collector's Edition of the game will also get the same perk.

"Dragon Ball FighterZ" will officially release on Jan. 26, 2018. The game will be made available for the PS4, Xbox One, and PC.
