Many may not have touchedDragon Ball Z: Kakarotsince finishing the Trunks: Warrior of Hope DLC months ago.DBZ: Kakarothas had a Switch releasesince then, but there hasn’t been much movement since then. However, if a new rumor is to be believed, it could be getting a new DLC.
It is said to be announced soon, but Bandai Namco has yet to comment on this. This rumor comes from DBSHype, who also seemingly teased that this DLC would be based onBardock, Goku’s father.

Why This Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot DLC Rumor is Believable
All rumors should be taken with a grain of salt, but there are certain rumors out there that tend to be more credible. This rumor finds itself among the latter. The number one reason for this is its source, as it’s not some anonymous post on social media. Through the development ofDragon Ball Z: Kakarot, as well as with its DLC releases, DBSHype was a trustworthy, reliable source of early information. There is no reason to doubt them now.
The second reason doesn’t really support it as much as this, but it’s worth noting that Bandai Namco has providedDragon Ball Zgames with a ton of support.Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2, for example, is still getting new characters, withGoku (Ultra Instinct -Sign-) being recently announced. So, despite there being a huge gap in content, it means this rumor doesn’t appear to be out of left field either.
What a Dragon Ball Z: Bardock DLC Could Explore
After the original post teasing thenewDragon Ball Z: KakarotDLC, DBS Hype quote tweeted it calling Solid State Scouter a “nice soundtrack,” which can be taken as a hint for Bardock. Solid State Scouter often plays when he fights, so much so that it is often known as Bardock’s theme song. If this is the case, that also helps narrow down the content for this new DLC.
This could, technically, be read as a tease for aBroly movie DLC. Bardock and the destruction of Planet Vegeta appear in Broly’s story often, but there is another, perhaps even more plausible direction. Bardock debuted as the titular character of the 1990 special,Dragon Ball Z: Bardock – The Father of Goku. It had a runtime of 48 minutes, which is notable becauseHistory of Trunks (on which Trunks’ DLC is based) was also a 48-minute special. In other words, it shows that a very similar approach could be taken here, and players could see a Bardock: Father of Goku DLC relatively soon.
It does remain to be seen, of course, but for those who enjoyedDragon Ball Z: Kakarot, it seems they may reason enough to return to it soon.
Dragon Ball Z: Kakarotis available now on PC, PS4, Stadia, Switch, and Xbox One.
