Bandai Namco Entertainment has announced it will host its own Summer Showcase on July 5 during Anime Expo 2024 in Los Angeles. The presentation will last for an hour and 20 minutes, focusing on anime-themed titles.
According to a press release on June 18, the panel is scheduled for July 5 from 5:30 PM to 6:50 PM Pacific Time in Petree Hall at the convention center. All attendees will have the opportunity to play some of the featured games at multiple booths.
Even though Bandai Namco has not revealed the full lineup for the Summer Showcase, we can expect to see the planned hands-on events which includes Dragon Ball: Sparking! ZERO, Sword Art Online Fractured Daydream, and Gundam Breaker 4.
Dragon Ball: Sparking! ZERO Details
The story mode of DRAGON BALL: Sparking! ZERO is particularly intriguing because it appears to include alternate events. The trailer features the tagline "Reclaim New Possibilities," suggesting these alternate moments.
One scenario shown in the trailer allows Goku to choose between fighting alongside Piccolo in the Saiyan Saga to save Gohan or going at it alone.
Sparking Zero intends to reintroduce various elements from the renowned series, such as offering players dialogue choices that impact cutscenes and the conditions for winning certain battles.
Release Date
DRAGON BALL: Sparking! ZERO is set to launch on October 11, 2024, for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.
