Bandai Namco Entertainment America began streaming on Tuesday a trailer for its Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot game. The video previews the new DLC story "Bardock - Alone Against Fate" based on the Dragon Ball Z: Bardock - The Father of Goku special. It also reveals that the DLC will launch alongside the new PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S versions on January 13.

The new versions will get digital deluxe and premium editions, with the latter including Season Pass 2.

The game launched in January 2020 in both Japan and in the West. The game is available for PS4, Xbox One, and PC via Steam. Bandai Namco Entertainment released a Nintendo Switch port in September 2021, and on Google Stadia in October 2021.

The first DLC for Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot, "New Power Awakens - Part 1," launched in April 2020 and featured characters Beerus and Whis. In the story, after beating Whis, Goku and Vegeta will be able to use their Super Saiyan God forms. In those forms, the characters will then fight Beerus. The "Part 2" DLC launched in November 2020.
