‘Coming this autumn’
Remember when people found evidence of Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot coming to Switch, and Bandai Namco denied it? Then it was promptly announced for Switch a few months after? Good times.
Well it definitely does exist, and the publisher of September 24 for the Switch platform. Note that the title of the game is Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot + A New Power Awakens Set, denoti♓ng 🅘the DLC that will be available at launch.
What won’t be ready for launch however is the Dragon Ball Card Warriors expansion, which was doled out as a free update for the prior versions of the game. Buried at the end of the new trailer below was a notice, stating that it was “coming this autumn for Nintendo Switch.”
If you’ve never seen this glorious little card minigame before, take a look at the video below and get acquainted.
Dragon Ball Card Warriors is a fully-fledged card game buried within Kakarot, and could have been a standalone download release in another universe. The above overview is actually a perfect introduction, and shows how deep this well goes for a mode that was added as free DLC. It even hasಞ two forms of ranked play!
I actually think this might be a Trojan Horse for a future standalone. All of the characters in Card Warriors are evergreen, and Dragon Ball fans will get this the time of day no matter when it’s released. I just hope that if Bandai Namco does go down that road, it isn’t a monkey’s paw situation. No gacha or random paid packs please!
