'Dragon Ball Xenoverse' release date: Trailer shows 3-minute gameplay footage

After the Tokyo Game Show 2014, the "Dragon Ball Xenoverse" trailer was released. The newest game from Bandai Namco is something fans of "Dragon Ball" are eagerly waiting for. The trailer is a delightful treat as it shows  three minutes of gameplay footage of the game.

"Dragon Ball Xenoverse" will debut on 2015, and the trailer shows the time-travelling part of the new story mode for the game. Further, the trailer also features the backstory of one of the fighters. But the best part of it all is, the gameplay footage that hasn't been shown in any other trailer before.

The new trailer explains that the players will have to create their hero, who will be summoned by Trunks. Shenron the dragon will be the one to summon the heroes and make sure that there is no evil that will ruin the timeline.

The player's hero will battle it out with familiar characters from the anime series. Player heroes will be in 3-vs-3 matches, one creation versus another. In line with new battles, there's also a free-for-all battle mode. More than this, there is also a co-op play for gamers, where a group of players can go on adventures.
