A new update has arrived for Dragon Ball: Sparking! ZERO on Nintendo Switch and the newer Switch 2, bringing fresh content and several key adjustments to the popular fighting game. Bandai Namco detailed the changes on its official site, highlighting the introduction of a limited-time game mode and expanded options for players.
The headline addition is a new limited-time mode called Extreme Warrior Attack. This mode challenges players by pitting them against opponents with dramatically increased power levels, offering a tougher battle experience. Alongside this, the Versus mode “Battle Together” now allows all stages to be selected, but with a specific hardware requirement. This full stage selection is only available when playing either the Nintendo Switch or Switch 2 version on an actual Switch 2 console with the latest update installed.
Several other modifications are included in this patch. The Custom Battle mode receives new selectable scenarios, additional cut scenes, and more text options for personalized fights. Furthermore, Bandai Namco states the update brings general improvements to usability and overall system stability specifically for Nintendo’s platforms, aiming for a smoother player experience.
This update follows the recent announcement of a major DLC expansion planned for the game. That upcoming content is set to introduce more playable characters, brand-new stages, and an original single-player mode. Specific details regarding the Switch and Switch 2 versions of this DLC, along with other planned content outlined in a 2026 roadmap, will be shared at a later date.
In related news, Bandai Namco has confirmed it is developing a brand-new Dragon Ball project, currently scheduled for a release in 2027.
