Dragon Ball Gekishin Squadra Is the MOBA We Didn’t Know We Needed

Dragon Ball + Team Battles = Gekishin Squadra. Let’s Talk About It.

Okay, real talk—if someone told me a year ago that Dragon Ball would launch a 4v4 MOBA-style game, I’d have laughed mid–Kamehameha. But here we are in 2025, and Bandai Namco just did exactly that with their newly announced game: Dragon Ball: Gekishin Squadra.

And gamers? This one looks like it might actually slap.

What Is Gekishin Squadra?

In a nutshell: it’s a free-to-play, cross-platform online action game where you team up in 4v4 battles using iconic Dragon Ball characters—or entirely new custom avatars.

Think of it as Overwatch meets Dragon Ball Z, but with a little more “Spirit Bomb” and a lot more hair spikes.

The Squad System: Roles Matter

Gekishin Squadra isn’t just chaos for chaos’ sake (though it is wild). Every squad has roles:

• Damage Dealers: Your Gokus and Vegetas—bursting power and raw destruction.

• Tanks: Characters who can take a punch from Broly and still taunt you afterward.

• Technicians: These are your wildcard units—support, traps, utility—basically the Krillins and Android 18s of the squad.

You’ll need real teamwork to win—no lone wolves here.

Customization FTW

This ain’t just about fighting. You get to flex your version of a Z Warrior with tons of cosmetic customization: outfits, animations, ultimate intros, and maybe (just maybe) meme-tier taunts. It’s your squad, your style.

The Hype Is Real: Open Network Test Incoming

Here’s the best part—you don’t even have to wait long to try it out.

The open beta runs June 11–15 on PS5, PS4, Switch, Steam, and even mobile (yep, iOS and Android are in the mix). So yeah, whether you’re couch gaming or rage-queuing on the go, you’re covered.

Want to be part of the first wave? Head over to the official site and register. (And maybe brush up on your teamwork… we’ve seen how y’all play in ranked matches.)

TL;DR

Dragon Ball: Gekishin Squadra is shaping up to be the most chaotic, beautiful, energy-blasting multiplayer experience the franchise has seen. Whether you’re a lifelong fan or just looking for the next cool free-to-play game to grind with friends—this is one to watch.

So, are you joining the squad? Or are you gonna sit this one out while the rest of us go Ultra Instinct?
