“We don’t really know what’s going on”: Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero’s Anime Expo Demo Sparks Concerns with Fans

Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero, which quickly became one of the most anticipated games of the year, is just a few months away. Fans couldn’t be more excited to try this game, which will include a ton of content. However, at a recent Anime Expo, several players who tried the demo reported that the game was experiencing some lag. 

Social media platforms like X echoed this, causing many fans to panic, fearing the game might not live up to their expectations. This information was revealed in a dedicated news account about the title.

With only three months left before its highly anticipated release, players can’t wait to finally try Sparking Zero. This title promises to enhance everything that made the famous Budokai Tenkaichi saga great. The game’s main strength is its inclusion of over 160 fighters for players to choose from. But it seems not everything is positive, and recent statements are scaring fans.

SUGGESTED“This game is peak already”: Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero’s Customization Details Drop, and It’s More Than Fans Could Ever Have Dreamt Of

According to numerous players who attended the well-known Anime Expo, they stated that the demo presented showed some lag in combat. Various specialists confirm that they presented the same demo at the Summer Game Fest.

This anime event did not impose any restrictions on discussing the demo, at least not in specific detail, unlike the Geoff Keighley-organized event, so this could be a very bad omen.

Social media users, particularly on X, shared this information, which quickly went viral. Later, the news account administrator for this title clarified that the players who initially mentioned this could have caused the lag due to the monitors they were using for the demos in the Anime Expo itself.

SUGGESTED“And I still don’t like it…”: 1 Part of Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero Needs a Serious Rework Before Release

This seems to have reassured fans who had doubts about the game’s performance, making them excited again. Shortly after these words, numerous other users started to express the same concerns, claiming that the game’s lag was largely due to the monitors.

This particular demo might reach users if the studio decides to finalize the details so that it can be played by everyone. Despite the alarming news for fans, it appears that a technical issue occurred during the event. Fans can maintain their composure regarding the game’s performance.

On October 10th, Sparking Zero, featuring a story mode, online combat, and other features, will be available. This game, after several rather mediocre titles based on this anime, could offer an unparalleled experience for fans of Goku and company. The franchise could finally recover certain qualities regarding gameplay and design in general.
