Bandai Namco has released a new trailer for the upcoming fighting game, "Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2." Not only does the trailer showcase how the player-created avatar will affect the main campaign's story and events but also gives a quick sneak peek at two new transformations in the game.
The first new transformation is that of the Great Namek or Giant Namek, a form for Namekian characters like Piccolo. This not only makes them larger but according to ComicBook, this makes them just as powerful as a Super Saiyan. However, it is possible that a Super Saiyan 2 or Super Saiyan 3 will still be more powerful.
Another teased transformation is that of the human Nimbus. The Nimbus cloud and the Power Pole aka Stretch Stick initially appeared in the old "Dragon Ball" anime, when Goku was a kid, but in "Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2" they aren't items and are instead the transformation for human characters, making them as powerful as a Super Saiyan or Great Namek.
There are also a few unidentified instances in the trailer where villain characters are shown powering up and changing colors. One sequence shows Lord Slug and Turles working together, eating a power-enhancing fruit from the Tree of Might.
According to the report, the story will weave in and out through the different events in "Dragon Ball Z" history and the trailer shows the player avatar interfering whenever something occurs that could alter the future. This falls in line with the game's campaign of preserving the series' history of events.
It is also revealed that if the player has a save file of the first game, there will be an instance in the sequel where the main character will get to meet the player avatar of the first "Dragon Ball Xenoverse," given that the timelines and events in history have begun to overlap.
"Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2" launches this Oct. 25.
