A brand new trailer for "Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2" has been released, and the footage showcases the fighting abilities and special moves of the special character Goku Black. This is a brand new character, introduced first in the "Dragon Ball Super" anime series, and he will initially be available as a pre-order bonus.

The footage initially showcases Goku Black's physical combos as he goes up against Super Saiyan Blue Vegeta. Some of the dash moves and quick combos are also revealed. By the end of the new trailer, fans are also treated to Goku Black using his version of the Kamehameha, a move popularized by the original Goku.

Unfortunately, the video does not showcase some of Goku Black's other special moves seen on the show. Goku Black is also staying in his original form as the game will not be including his Super Saiyan Rose form, which is Goku Black's equivalent of a Super Saiyan Blue transformation.

Fans of the series will recall that Goku Black hails from a future timeline, and he is, in fact, the evil Zamasu using future Goku's body. Zamasu is also a notably powerful being, given that he was once a Supreme Kai apprentice. In the anime series, he and Goku Black were able to meet due to variations in the timeline.

Bandai Namco also revealed on Twitter that the first DLC Pack for "Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2" would be including Kyabe and Frost as playable characters.

Frost is Universe 6's equivalent of Freeza. However, he portrays himself as a gentleman and a peace-keeper. It was later revealed that all the crimes he stopped were, in fact, his own machinations and that he planned them all so he could be painted as a hero.

Kyabe, also known as Cabba in the American version, is a Super Saiyan from Universe 6, and he is Frost's teammate in the Inter-Universe tournament. Unlike the Saiyans of Universe 7 such as Goku and Vegeta, he is very mild and not violent at all, even when he transforms into his Super Saiyan form.

"Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2" is scheduled to launch on the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC on Oct. 25.

If you look at the Church of England’s communications all that it ever seems to highlight is the good works that Christians do to improve the temporal well-being of their neighbours. It is right to highlight these things, but they are not the primary reason for the Church’s existence.
