Bandai Namco Entertainment America Inc. has released a producer video for DRAGON BALL: Sparking!

ZERO that confirms the Super Limit-Breaking NEO DLC will arrive on July 30, 2026, for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and PC via Steam.

DRAGON BALL: Sparking!

ZERO is currently available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, PC, Nintendo Switch 2 and Nintendo Switch, and the new DLC expands the game's roster, modes and stages while a companion free update adds new battle mechanics for all players.

In the video, producer Jun Furutani gave a detailed overview of Super Limit-Breaking NEO.

He described the centerpiece as a new solo progression mode called Limit Breaker Journey and highlighted the DLC’s 33 additional playable characters drawn from DRAGON BALL, DRAGON BALL Z, DRAGON BALL SUPER and DRAGON BALL GT.

Furutani emphasized the DLC’s focus on player-driven character development and expanded offline content, including four new Episode Battles, new Extra Battles and four brand-new stages.

Limit Breaker Journey allows players to select a favorite fighter and customize their progression across a map-based run structure.

Movement consumes a stamina resource that affects starting health in subsequent battles, introducing a risk-and-reward element to exploration.

Opponent difficulty is represented by an SP value; defeating higher-SP foes yields greater EXP.

Along the way, players can trigger special events to meet specific characters, equip Battle Art that boosts stats, and undertake training for additional EXP.

As SP increases, players earn points to distribute across six character parameters.

Importantly, characters improved in Limit Breaker Journey retain their enhanced stats in Player Matches and Offline Battles.

The free update launching with the DLC adds two new combat mechanics first shown in the announcement trailer.

Boost uses a larger amount of Skill Stock to deliver a sharp, temporary spike in attack power while in Sparking! mode, followed by a brief period of reduced stats once the effect expires.

Chain Blast enables a follow-up assault after sending an opponent flying by tagging in a reserve ally to continue the offensive with a Blast attack for extended damage.

The update also introduces three new variations of existing stages in addition to the four new stages included with the paid DLC.
