'Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2' release date, news: 68 playable characters confirmed; roster can go up to 76?

The character list for "Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2" has been unveiled, and it is incredibly massive, with 68 playable characters included in the roster so far.

Saiyan Island has acquired an image believed to be from the demo build held for the game where the litany of characters was revealed in what appears to be from the select character pane.

First on the "Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2" is a custom character followed by multiple versions of Son Goku — Goku, Goku Super Saiyan God, Goku Super Saiyan Blue, Goku Super Saiyan 4, and Goku GT (kid).

The kid, teen, and adult versions of Gohan are all included, as well as his future version, bumping up the roster to 10. Goten is also included, as well as Trunks as a kid, GT, and Future Trunks.

The image then shows a mix of both heroes and villains headed in the game. Vegeta's inclusion in "Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2" is no surprise as well as his Vegeta Super Saiyan 4 and Majin Vegeta versions.

Gotenks, Vegito, Gogeta, Gogeta Super Saiyan 4, and Pan will also join the party, as well as the Gods of Destruction Beerus and Whis.

Frieza in his Final Form and his 100 percent Final Form will also wreak havoc in "Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2," along with baddies Cooler and Metal Cooler.

This easily makes sense of the inclusion of the bunch of Burter, Jeice, Guldo, Ginyu, Dodoria, and Recoom in "Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2"

Cell in First Form, Perfect Cell, Super Perfect Cell, and even Cell Jr. are all included in the sequel, as well as the versions of Android 16, Android 17, and 18.

Great Saiyaman, Piccolo, Krillin, Tien, Yamcha, Villainous Yamcha, and Saibaman are all part of the "Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2," which is not much of a surprise.

As for Buu, there's Majin Buu, Super Buu, Kid Buu, and Villainous Kid Majin Buu as playable characters, along with Nail, Raditz, Nappa, and Jaco.

The representation of the evil side in "Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2" is stronger with Zarbon, Turles, Janemba, Villainous Janemba, Lord Slug, Broly, Villainous Broly, Towa, Mira Towa, Bardock, Time Breaker Bardock, and Villainous Omega Shenron.

Saiyan Island points out that the "Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2" roster can go up to 76 as the likes of Omega Shenron (regular), Nuova Shenron, Ice Shenron, Hercule, Rasberry, and First Form Frieza, all of whom were in the first game, are not on the list, as well as Goku Black from "Dragon Ball Super."
