Bandai Namco recently announced a new game for the Dragon Ball Budokai Tenkaichi series. This new game may be titled “Sparking! Zero” as a trademark for this name has been filed in the US. In Japan, the Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi series is known as the Dragon Ball Z: Sparking! series. With this new discovery, fans are speculating about the next game’s official title and the potential announcement of the game in the near future:

Gematsu: “The trademark could suggest the game’s title will be Dragon Ball Z: Sparking! Zero, at least in Japan, as well as that a follow-up announcement is coming soon.”

Details about the game are still scarce at this stage. It is currently in the “early stages of development” and no specific platforms or release dates have been confirmed. Bandai Namco has, however, released a brief teaser video of the character Goku in his Super Saiyan Blue form from the Dragon Ball Super series.

The Budokai Tenkaichi game series debuted in 2005 on the PlayStation, with Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi. This was followed by Budokai Tenkaichi 2 in 2006 and Budokai Tenkaichi 3 in 2007, both released on the Nintendo Wii.
