Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 continues to engage its fanbase with frequent updates and downloadable content (DLC). The latest addition, Future Saga Chapter 2, is the second of four planned chapters in the Future Saga storyline. While Bandai Namco has yet to announce a release date, the teaser trailer has already stirred excitement among fans, here’s what you need to know about the latest developments in the Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 world.
The Future Saga Overview
Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 remains popular more than eight years after its release. Bandai Namco and Dimps have kept the game fresh with free updates in addition to paid DLCs. One of the most notable expansions is the Future Saga, which focuses on Fu, a time-travelling villain. His experiments alter key moments in Dragon Ball history, creating “What If” scenarios. These changes draw characters like Goku, Vegeta, and Trunks into altered timelines, sparking new battles and challenges.
Future Saga Chapter 2: Key Developments
In Future Saga Chapter 2, Fu’s latest scheme sets the stage for new conflicts. This time, Fu targets the Pride Troopers and the Gods of Destruction from Dragon Ball Super, leading to intense battles.
The Main Plot
Fu manipulates time by pitting Pride Troopers Toppo and Dyspo against Beerus, Champa, and Belmod, the Gods of Destruction. Goku gets caught up in the chaos when he faces an energy blast that threatens the planet. This forces the Pride Troopers and Gods of Destruction to join forces temporarily to stop Fu.
New Playable Characters
Two key characters join the fight in this new chapter:
- God of Destruction Belmod
- Jiren (Full Power, Ultra Supervillain form)
Both play crucial roles in the storyline. Jiren’s Ultra Supervillain transformation, granted by Fu, makes him an even more dangerous opponent. His enhanced powers make him a major threat to Goku and the Time Patrollers.
Goku vs. Ultra Supervillain Jiren
One of the most exciting moments teased in the trailer is the clash between Goku and Jiren. In his Ultra Supervillain form, Jiren’s abilities grow significantly. His pink aura and the crystal emerging from his body give him a fearsome appearance. This transformation is similar to the one that Fu gave Goku Black and Vegeta in Chapter 1. As Jiren’s power spirals out of control, Goku taps into his Mastered Ultra Instinct form. Fans are eager to see the two warriors face off in one of the game’s most intense battles yet.
