Bandai Namco releases two new E3 2017 gameplay videos for Dragon Ball FighterZ

As the hype continues to mount for Dragon Ball FighterZ, and the excitement level has gone well over 9,000. Thankfully, Bandai Namco has released two gameplay videos that were captured during E3 2017. This gameplay footage gives us a better glimpse at what was revealed in the first look videos we got of the demo version. Whoever the players are controlling the teams in this new gameplay footage, they seem to have a decent grasp of the game’s combat system, and they pull off some of the most impressive combos we’ve seen thus far.

In addition to a few authentic battles, we also get a better look at the game’s cinematic elements — like the stage transitions, battle damage effects, win poses, and interactive sequences that occur when a new fighter takes the place of a fallen one.

Check out the two E3 gameplay videos below!

He’s been a part of Killer Instinct lore since the original game back in the arcades, but Chief Thunder’s brother Eagle is finally coming to KI this month. As a hyper-mobile zoner with massive mixup potential, this archer could be quite the top tier contender.
