Dragon Ball Zfans are paying their respect toXenoVerse 2for carrying the community for long enough to allowSparking Zeroits reported five-year development cycle.
This week has been a huge one for Dragon Ball fans,as we finally got a good look at the next Budokai Tenkaichi game nearly a whole year after it was originally announced. Officially called Sparking Zero (as the rumours suggested), the quick glimpse we got of it and all of the info that’s been shared since the reveal seem to suggest that it’s going to live up to all of the hype that fans have been building over the past decade.
Perhaps the most interesting bit of news to come out of Sparking Zero’s revealis that it has reportedly had a five-year development cycleand has been being worked on since 2018. Although that’s normal for most triple-A games nowadays, it’s a long amount of time for a licensed anime game, which has raised expectations even higher than they were before.It’s also caused the Dragon Ball community to share a whole lot of love for XenoVerse 2.
Dragon Ball XenoVerse 2 was already a beloved game in the series, but after six years of content updates and DLC, it’s fair to say that a lot of fans were getting a bit tired of it, especially in lieu of new games being made. With the reveal that Sparking Zero has been in the works for so long, however,fans now think that XenoVerse 2 has been supported for as long as it has to allow the long-awaited fourth Budokai Tenkaichi some time to cook.
This revelation has caused a lot of fans to share their love and respect for XenoVerse 2 on social media,with several memes from fans showing XenoVerse 2 struggling with going for so longwhile Sparking Zero was in development. One post from Twitter user JoriiMin reads, “Xenoverse 2 I did not know you were keeping us together this whole time while peak was in the oven cooking I owe you my apologies you may rest”.
Although many of the memes suggest XenoVerse 2 was simply being padded to allow time for Sparking: Zero,that isn’t actually the case as we know that it’s going to be continued well into 2024.
That’s just a few examples of all the love that is being shared for XenoVerse 2 right now, but there are loads of posts from passionate Dragon Ball fans thanking it for keeping us going while we waited for a new Budokai Tenkaichi. Even though XenoVerse 2 was already pretty well-liked, it seems that it’s found a new lease of life in another game’s announcement.
