Bandai Namco and Dimps have announced an October 14, 2022 release date for 7v1 asymmetrical action survival game Dragon Ball: The Breakers on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC via Steam, in addition to revealing playable Frieza and Namek in a new trailer. Preorder details for the different versions of Dragon Ball: The Breakers have been provided ahead of its release date, and there is a new closed network test coming on all platforms August 5 – 6.
Firstly, below are the The Dragon Ball: The Breakers August closed network test dates and the signup page. Players will have access to Raider Frieza and Raider Cell, and skins for Oolong and Bulma will be available to Survivors. Sometime after the completion of the closed network test, there will be an open beta test as well.

Next, here are the different versions of Dragon Ball: The Breakers available to preorder, with the physical versions available to preorder now. Notably, the standard edition of the game is a digital-only release, which kind of makes sense since this isn’t a game you could play single-player anyway.

The Escapist previewed The Breakers last December and found it to be a pretty promising experience overall. The mechanics for survival and success sound a bit complex at first, but it’s something Dragon Ball fans will probably be willing to learn.
The wait for the October release date of Dragon Ball: The Breakers is on.
