Some fans were able to record and preview gameplay for the upcoming "Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2." These lucky players were also kind enough to share exciting recordings of its story mode, transformation sequences, and other features. The game is scheduled to be released on Oct. 25 in North America and on Oct. 28 in Europe.

YouTube has been flooded with several gameplay videos of the upcoming game, and these videos have showcased several features of the game. SaiyanLegends uploaded an almost 20-minute long video of its story mode. Many have truly enjoyed the video, but many were also wondering why the voice over's volume is not loud enough to be heard normally.

Several were also saying that the hair color of Raditz did not change, while some are also seeing the similarity with the "Naruto" games. More transformation videos can easily be watched on the video streaming website, while other video footages also showed Versus mode. There are also videos of the exploration of the new city hub called Conton. The new city is larger in this installment compared to the one in the earlier game. Players can also now fly within the city.

Sonic Stadium reported earlier, there are already three known new stages: Archipelago, Hell, and Tree of Might. There are also several new characters to arrive at the game including Android 16, Imperfect Cell, Future Gohan, Dodoria, and Turles. Final Form Cooler, Janemba, Black Goku (Preorder bonus), and several others will also join them.

The first beta test will happen on Oct. 8 to 10 for PlayStation 4 players. Xbox players will be included on the Oct. 14 to 16 test. PlayStation 4 players could still take part in the second test.

"Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2" is slated to arrive on Oct. 25 in North America and Oct. 28 in Europe. Japanese fans will only be able to play it starting Nov. 2. The game will be released for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Windows PC.
