'Dragon Ball: The Breakers' Opens Beta Later This Week, Reveals Third Raider, In-Game Rewards - Screens & Trailer

Dragon Ball: The Breakers is an eight-person online multiplayer game that combines both cooperative and competitive dynamics to create a revolutionary asymmetrical online survival action experience set in the Dragon Ball Xenoverse universe.

Steeped in a wealth of Dragon Ball lore and featuring innovative survival action gameplay, Dragon Ball: The Breakers consists of 7v1 matches where seven normal “Survivors” have been sucked into a mysterious phenomenon called the “Temporal Seam” and must contend with the overwhelming power of the eighth player, the franchise iconic rival “Raider,” whose task is to obliterate the Survivor team. The Survivors don’t have any superpowers and must rely on various power-up items, weapons, and pilotable vehicles to battle and evade the Raider while searching for the Super Time Machine to escape oblivion.

Concurrently, the Raider will be able to play as Cell, Buu, or Frieza and amass overwhelming power to destroy the Survivor team throughout the match, ensuring complete dominance. 

Dragon Ball: The Breakers also features a Survivor character customization mode which enables players to design their match avatars by using familiar Dragon Ball Survivor skins and decorative equipment earned with in-game credits or via optional in-game purchases.


Dragon Ball: The Breakers is getting its first Open Beta Test starting September 21 at 6:00 p.m. PDT until September 25 at 1:00 a.m. PDT.

During the beta, players can experience playing as the two Frieza and Cell Raiders or try their hand as the Survivor with the option to wear the Oolong and Bulma Survivor Skins. The Open Beta will be accessible on PS4 (compatible with PS5), Xbox One (compatible with Xbox Series X|S), PC via Steam, and Nintendo Switch. Those that participate in the Open Beta will receive an in-game Oolong keychain accessory after the full game is purchased on  the same platform and account they used for the beta.

When the game launches on October 14th this year, one of the classic antagonists in the Dragon Ball universe, Majin Buu, will be playable in Dragon Ball: The Breakers. Players can experience the shapeshifting character’s various forms by turning Survivors into candy and absorbing them. Fans can also look forward to the newly revealed Farmer Survivor skin themed after the character from the opening moments of Dragon Ball Z, which will also be available at launch. 

In addition, players who own Ball Xenoverse 2 can link Dragon Ball: The Breakers and receive in-game rewards based on their specific in-game achievements as a Raider or Survivor. A future update to Dragon Ball: The Breakers will grant players the ability to receive Ball Xenoverse 2 rewards based on their in-game achievements. More information on how to link these two games together will be shared in the near future. 

Dragon Ball: The Breakers is coming to Nintendo Switch, PS4, PS5 (Compatible), Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S (Compatible) and PC (Steam) on October 14, 2022.
