Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 4 Announced (Gamereactor UK)

After 15 years, the Dragon Ball fighting game series is back, but so far without a release date.

And few of them have been as successful as the Budokai Tenkaichi series (though admittedly they're more show than fair competition titles), whose last instalment, Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 3, saw the light of day 15 years ago for Wii and PlayStation 2, so this new announcement has the community excited. We'll be on the lookout for more news on Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 4, but in the meantime, enjoy the moment and check out the trailer below. Since the series hit TV screens almost 40 years ago, we have had a multitude of games that have tried to recreate with varying degrees of success the sensations of being a saiyan like Goku, Vegeta, Gohan or Trunks, or saving the world from Piccolo Daimaoh, or travelling on the Kinton cloud (and doing the chorus of the anime's opening in the process).

The consensus appears to be that despite the warm reception of the "Xenoverse" series initially – and the stellar "Dragon Ball FighterZ" [raising the bar for "Dragon Ball" games](https://www.svg.com/188861/the-best-and-worst-dragon-ball-z-games/) in general – the magic of the older titles was sorely missed. The "Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi" series has been resurrected. [One user](https://twitter.com/krembeni/status/1632543802383794177?s=20) simply exclaimed "Are we finally free from Xenoverse 2," in reference to the 2016 game. He then transitions to Super Saiyan Blue, and text appears that reads "A New Budokai Tenkaichi Begins."

Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi and FighterZ offer players two vastly different options for play, making the franchise accessible to a wider audience. Unlike Budokai Tenkaichi, Dragon Ball FighterZ also featured a unique new story that introduced a fresh antagonist to the series in Android 21. It brought a very different type of gameplay to Dragon Ball Z fans, abandoning the 3D arena fighting introduced by Budokai Tenkaichi to instead opt for the rapid tag-team approach of 2D fighters like Marvel vs. Dragon Ball FighterZ was released in 2018, and has since become one of the biggest fighting games in the world.

Why Dragon Ball Z Fans Are Losing Their Minds Over the Budokai ... (Den of Geek)

The chaotic, fun, and wildly unbalanced Budokai Tenkaichi series has returned, and Dragon Ball Z fans couldn't be happier.

The Dragon Ball franchise has introduced so many beloved characters (and even more one-off characters) since Budokai Tenkaichi 3, and, given the general reaction to this information, fans want the developers to cram in as many as possible, balance be darned. Perhaps the most important and beloved aspect of the Budokai Tenkaichi franchise was its absolute lack of balance. Obviously, video game technology has improved quite a lot since Budokai Tenkaichi 3, so not only can we expect to play that kind of game with better graphics and controls but also online multiplayer (the franchise died when couch co-op was still king). More importantly, the Budokai Tenkaichi games were a love letter to every facet of the franchise, no matter how small. They were the pinnacle of anime fighting games and made fans feel like they were actually in command of the lightning-fast duels that made the Dragon Ball franchise beloved.
