Bandai Namco Entertainment America began streaming a character breakdown video for the Dragon Ball FighterZ fighting game on Tuesday. The video features Tien Shinhan.

Bandai Namco Entertainment will host an open beta for the game between January 14-15. Those who pre-ordered the game will have early access to the beta on January 13. The game will launch for Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC via Steam in the Americas and Europe on January 26.
