Originally created by Akira Toriyama in 1984, the Dragon Ball franchise has gone on to become one of the most successful manga and anime series of all time. Adapted into two anime series: Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z, airing from 1986 to 1989 and 1989 to 1996, respectively, the franchise has also gone on to welcome 21 animated feature films, television specials, live-action projects, graphic novels, trading card games, and in this instance, video games. That is thanks to Dragon Ball: Gekishin Squadra, an action RPG released back in 2025 for PlayStation, PC, Android, and iOS. Developed by Ganbarion, it is a free-to-play team-oriented title where players can personalize their favorite heroes, entrance animations, and special finisher animations and take to the battlefield, either alone or with allies. "Enter the world of Dragon Ball by bringing your favorite characters' earth-shaking strength to the battlefield, and join up with your friends and allies to defeat your opponents and dominate the objectives," the official synopsis for Dragon Ball: Gekishin Squadra reads. "Grow your strength throughout each round, unlock game-changing attacks and abilities, and obliterate enemy players and bosses alike." Offering intense 4v4 battles, Dragon Ball: Gekishin Squadra will see you select heroes based on their roles: Damage, Tank or Technical. With each offering their own unique abilities and powers, you will need to form the best strategy in order to come out on top. Not only that, but with the ability to customize some of your favorite Dragon Ball characters, this is a must-play for fans of the beloved anime franchise. Now, Season 6 of Dragon Ball: Gekishin Squadra is on the way with a dedicated roadmap to match. Beginning on 8 July, the brand-new season will welcome a new hero in the form of Beerus, as well as a new emote. There will also be four new skins to enjoy, and then, from 22 July onwards, players can expect even more content, although what this will be, remains a secret for now. However, over on r/DBGekishinSquadra, it seems as though one fan is not happy with the plans for Season 6, and took to Reddit to share their anger. "Now let's begin with the two biggest problems I've seen everyone talk about, new ways for the character reveals and the Goku and Piccolo skins. I want to start off by saying I'm not a huge fan of this character reveal change. I get it's "to keep anticipation", which sounds fine on paper as an excuse, but it's honestly to make people spend money on one character in the chances they might release their favorite character right after, so they have less resources and have to buy gems if they REALLY want those emotes, let's be honest." They go on to complain about having to wait weeks between major releases, as well as express disappointment over the brand-new Piccolo skin which will come as part of the in-game gacha system. Put simply, players will need to pay money in order to have the chance of getting the skin. In conclusion, the user added, "Not too excited for this season. Beerus is cool. I'm excited for him and, well... that's it. Nothing else to say. Everything else kind of ruins my mood a bit, except for the patch notes, which were alright. Again, not the worst, not the best, but I'll take it over what we've been getting recently." With other fans claiming that they will also be giving this season a miss, it seems as though Dragon Ball: Gekishin Squadra is in the trenches at the moment, even if tons of new content is just around the corner.
