Bandai Namco Games has recently announced that the Dragon Ball Xenoverse release date will be delayed from February 17 to February 24 in the US and February 27 in the United Kingdom. The company explained on its official statement, "in order to ensure the highest possible gameplay experience for our fans."
The game has been announced last in May in Japan, and it was revealed in June that it will have a Western release. The Dragonball Xenoverse is all set to be released for the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, Xbox One, and Xbox 360 consoles in Japan on February 5 two weeks ahead before its Western availability.
According to Anime Networks, Dragonball Xenoverse Japanese version has more exclusive perks that will include a download code for Akira Toriyama's manga hero Jaco the Galactic Patrolman as a playable character. Other early Japanese bonuses include a download code for a Master Roshi set for character customization, a Trunks:Xeno battle card for the Dragon Ball Heroes game, and a serial code to use Trunks:Xeno in the Dragon Ball Z Dokkan Battle smartphone game.
"The game will also feature an original video anime relating to the events in the game," Anime Networks adds.
"Players can take on the role of an original character who teams up with Trunks and the Kai of Time to stop the new characters Towa and Mira from changing the course of history in the Dragon Ball story."
In previous reports, we've discovered that Xenoverse is a customizable character that teams up with Goku and the rest of the gang. Bandai Namco Games has made an exclusive day one edition in the United States that will include exclusive Frieza Soldier battle suits and Super Saiyan IV Vegeta as an exclusive playable character.
