The Pride Trooper Jiren is the next DLC character coming to Dragon Ball FighterZ, but he won’t be the only one. During the Dragon Ball FighterZ World Tour Finals, publisher Bandai Namco announced a second FighterZ Pass, which will add five other warriors to the Dragon Ball fighting game.
In the trailer above, Bandai Namco confirmed that Jiren will be available this week, on January 31. Moreover, he’ll arrive alongside another new DLC character: Videl. Based on the video, it seems Videl will be able to call in Gohan–naturally dressed as Great Saiyaman–for tag-team attacks, much like Android 18 is able to briefly summon Android 17.
Toward the end of the trailer, we also get a glimpse at two other upcoming DLC characters: Super Saiyan Blue Gogeta and Broly from the new Dragon Ball Super movie. No footage of either fighter was shared, but the trailer says both are “coming soon.” The remaining two DLC fighters have yet to be revealed.
Bandai Namco hasn’t announced pricing details for the new FighterZ Pass. The first FighterZ Pass cost $35 and added eight characters: Broly, Bardock, Vegito, Fused Zamasu, base Goku and Vegeta, Cooler, and Android 17. Each previous DLC character could also be purchased individually for $5.
It is my favorite day of the year. Today, we celebrate our Royal Rumble day! One of WWE’s longest-running PPVs delivers its 31st installment, and it should be a blast. Like last year’s edition, there will be both a men’s and women’s royal rumble match, and there will be plenty of surprises during the evening.
This year’s event comes to PPV and the WWE Network starting at 4 PM PT / 7 PM ET / 12 AM GMT (January 28); however, there is a Kickoff Show starting two hours prior. As of this writing, there will be two matches on the preshow: one for the Cruiserweight Championship and one for the United States Championship.
Aside from both Royal Rumble matches, there is a lot to look forward to for the January PPV. There are seven championship matches on the card, with only the Raw Tag Team Championship and Intercontinental Championship missing from the show. In total, there are nine matches on the card, and with the Rumble matches usually lasting more than an hour–and with two of them on the card–it’s going to be one long evening of wrestling.
Brock Lesnar shows up to defend his Universal Champion against Finn Balor, the first person to win that title. Hopefully, Lesnar loses and we never see him again (That’s just my hopeful prediction). Daniel Bryan vs. AJ Styles for the WWE Championship should be a fantastic and highly athletic match, but on the Smackdown side of things, Asuka vs. Becky Lynch for the Smackdown Women’s Championship should be a barn-burner, as both Lynch and Asuka have been killing it on the Tuesday night show. Check out the full match card below.
