Does Dragon Ball Sparkling Zero have a local co-op feature planned? Here’s what we know about the possible inclusion.

The beloved Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi fighting franchise is finally coming back, with fans eagerly anticipating the release of Dragon Ball Sparkling Zero in the near future.

In the lead-up to the game’s release, gameplay trailers, character details, and more have all been trickling through. Previously released footage showcasing the updated graphics, combat mechanics, and more.

One aspect of the Budokai Tenkaichi games that made it such a hit during the 2000s and 2010s was the local multiplayer focus to the game. Allowing friends to all sit down on the couch together and battle it out against each other using the likes of Goku and Vegeta.

Despite this, rumors have been circulating online for months now that Sparkling Zero will launch without local co-op, some even calling this a “deal-breaker” given the feature’s history throughout the franchise.

In light of this, here is everything we know about local multiplayer for Dragon Ball Sparkling Zero, including whether or not it will be a feature in the game.

After all, other franchises that have previously included local co-op, such as Halo, have moved away from the feature in recent installments, a decision that has been met with major backlash from the video game community.
