As for the campaign mode, VG247 reported that it will come in three parts, each one bringing unique details that complete the story. There will be a Super Warriors Arc from the perspective of the Saiyans and a Super Villain Arc coming from the views of the antagonists. Moreover, there will also be an Android Arc, representing the Androids.
There will also be a Circle Match mode where eight players can battle against each other, with four matches happening at the same time. Also included is the World Match where players can choose from typical casual and ranked.
Back in July, the sign up for the closed beta was delayed and pushed by Bandai Namco to late August. "Due to the volume of excitement and enthusiasm surrounding this announcement, we have decided to expand the capacity of the closed beta in an effort to enable more players to participate in the program," explained the company in a Facebook post.
