In a shocking move reminiscent of last year’s surprise character reveal, new Dragon Ball FighterZ news has suddenly dropped.
Practically without any warning, it appears that we’ll be getting a brand new balance patch for the game almost a decade since its original release.
Details on what exactly the balance patch will entail are currently unclear, but Bandai Namco posted it on their official X account so there’s no mistaking the validity of this news.
Originally released in January 2018, Dragon Ball FighterZ was a smash hit when it first came out and received many years of post-launch support with three full seasons of DLC characters.
Since then, we’ve also received two stand-alone DLC characters with Lab Coat Android 21 dropping in 2022 followed by Super Saiyan 4 Goku from Dragon Ball Daima in 2026.
Given the footage shown for this patch being a battle between Goku and Beerus, it does appear that this is some kind of cross-promotion with the recent Dragon Ball Super: Beerus series, a retelling of 2013’s Dragon Ball Z: Battle of the Gods film which eventually led into the Dragon Ball Super anime series.

Well, then. Are you ready for what’s next?
A new balance update is coming soon to DRAGON BALL FighterZ!
Stay tuned for more details! #DBFZ https://t.co/1lfc2RUpsT— Bandai Namco US (@BandaiNamcoUS) November 15, 2026
