It was unclear whether Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero, the upcoming fighting game, would include local multiplayer. Those rumors have now been seemingly laid to bed, as the local multiplayer gameplay functionality was spotted by Twitter/X user SLOplays on the updated PS Store listing of the game.
The rumors about local multiplayer’s absence arose when the PlayStation and Steam pages listed it as a single-player game only with no mention of offline multiplayer. It was also reported earlier that game producer Jun Furutani said that local split-screen will not be present due to “issues relating to Sony and Microsoft.”
If the store page is believed, it looks like local multiplayer will be in the cards. Local multiplayer has been a staple mode in fighting games, and its absence would have been felt among fans.
Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero is a highly anticipated title among fighting games and Dragon Ball fans. The game has a packed roster, with many already confirmed as playable characters. It’s even more exciting that many of the characters are yet to be announced.
