Bandai Namco Wants A Runback In Dragon Ball FighterZ Beta

Bandai Namco wants one more go at this beta 

DBFZ Extended Beta

I have to say that I’m a bit disappointed when it comes to this past weekend’s Dragon Ball FighterZ beta. Just like the previous one, most people ran into issues that prevented them from either fighting any matches or ran into lots of laggy fights. I waited 30 minutes more at least 5 fights, so I wasn’t too thrilled about that. I get it, that’s what a beta is for, right? Except, this experience was no better than the last one. You’d figure that they’d get it working correctly. This was supposed to be the final beta before release.

Now, it wasn’t all bad. I’ve talked to people on both sides, and when it worked it worked well. It’s just that the number of people that said it worked was well lower than those who had a terrible experience.

That all said, Bandai Namco and Arcsys want another go at it and have announced yet another beta. Starting this Friday (Jan. 17) and up until Saturday (Jan. 18), you can hop on either the PS4 or Xbox One versions of the beta and see if they’ve managed to fix the issues.

Greetings DRAGON BALL FighterZ,

As promised, we are back with info on an additional open beta test with improvements to the experience. Open Beta Starts Jan 17, 2018 at 9:00pm PST and ends Jan 18, 2018 at 9:00pm PST (24hrs)

We look forward to seeing you online once again! pic.twitter.com/kR5h0M759c

I just hope this last beta will include some improvements and doesn’t put a damper on that DBFZ train. That said, sound off in the comments and let us know what you’ll be playing this one final beta.

Dragon Ball FighterZ drops on Jan. 26, 2018, for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC.
