posted on by Sarah Nelkin
This year's 11th issue of Shueisha's Shonen Jump magazine is announcing on Monday that Broly will join the roster of playable characters in the Dragon Ball Xenoverse fighting game. The Legendary Super Saiyan will only become playable when the player clears the game's story mode at least once.
Dragon Ball Xenoverse will ship for the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, Xbox One, and Xbox 360 consoles in Japan on February 5, and then in the United States on February 24 and in Europe on February 27. It will also debut on PC via Steam on February 27.
The exclusive day one edition in the United States will include Frieza Soldier battle suits and Super Saiyan IV Vegeta as a playable character. The first copies in Japan will include a download code for Akira Toriyama's manga hero Jaco the Galactic Patrolman as a playable character. Other early Japanese bonuses include a download code for a Master Roshi set of character customization, a Trunks:Xeno battle card for the Dragon Ball Heroes game, and a serial code to use Trunks:Xeno in the Dragonball Z Dokkan Battle smartphone game.
Bandai Namco Games unveiled the game in Japan last May and announced in June that the game will receive a Western release. In Japan, the game will feature an original video anime (OVA) relating to the events in the game.
