Super Saiyan 4 Goku from Dragon Ball Daima Joins Dragon Ball FighterZ: Release Date and Update Details Revealed

Bandai Namco has officially announced the arrival of Super Saiyan 4 Goku—from the highly anticipated anime Dragon Ball Daima—as the newest playable character in Dragon Ball FighterZ.

The reveal took place during EVO France 2025, one of the fighting game community’s premier tournaments, marking the first new character addition to the acclaimed title in four years. Developed by Arc System Works and published by Bandai Namco, Dragon Ball FighterZ has earned critical and commercial success since its initial release in January 2018 across platforms including Nintendo Switch, PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.

With over 8 million copies sold worldwide, the game remains one of the most influential fighting games of its generation, celebrated for its faithful adaptation of the Dragon Ball universe and competitive balance. Announced by Bandai Namco at EVO France 2025, Super Saiyan 4 Goku from Dragon Ball Daima is set to join the Dragon Ball FighterZ roster in Spring 2025.

This marks a significant milestone for the game, as Super Saiyan 4 Goku will be the first new fighter introduced to the title since its last character update in 2021.

According to reputable industry sources including Gematsu, the addition of this iconic form of Goku is expected to invigorate both the casual and competitive communities of the game. In addition to the new character reveal, Bandai Namco confirmed a comprehensive balance adjustment update scheduled for release on October 12, 2025.

This update, as detailed during the EVO France presentation, will enhance the game’s strategic options by bringing additional depth to the Z-Reflect system and rolling out updates to every character on the roster.

The intent, according to Bandai Namco representatives, is to ensure Dragon Ball FighterZ continues to offer engaging and competitively viable gameplay across all platforms, including Nintendo Switch and the eShop. With the new character debut and the upcoming balance patch, Dragon Ball FighterZ maintains its momentum on the global fighting game stage.
