Bandai Namco Entertainment has revealed more characters who are coming to "Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2." The developer revealed a total of 75 characters.

The bunch was a mix of heroes and villains as one would expect. Some of the notable fighters there include Cooler and Final Form Cooler, Majin Vegeta, as well as the various evil forms of Cell and Buu.

The character roster revealed in the video does not include the ones who are going to be added to "Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2" via downloadable content (DLC), which means that the roster will get much bigger.

According to previous reports, the fighting game sequel is expected to come with at least 87 playable characters, which is almost double than the number the first game had.

Goku Black from the "Dragon Ball Super" anime will be included in "Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2" via DLC, while others are not made official but are expected to return due to their inclusion in the first game.

Meanwhile, with the release of the game just around the corner, the back cover box art for the sequel has been unveiled. Saiyan Island has acquired the image.

There is not much to take away about "Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2," though, but it is certainly enough to wound up fans of its imminent launch by the end of this month.

But as far as building hype around the game is concerned, the crop of gameplay videos is doing a good job at that already. A bunch of clips from "Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2" showing a bit more of the game and the battles has flooded the web.

There is a new one with Majin Vegeta dominating the ring and more clips including Super Gogeta, Super Janemba, Goku, Vegeta, Majin Vegeta, Super Saiyan 4 Goku, Pan, Frieza-race Time Patroller, and a whole lot more.

"Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2" will be released for the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One on Oct.25 in North America and Oct. 28 in Europe. A PC version will be released on Oct. 28 as well.
