Pasadena Regionals returns this Summer, adding two more titles to the event roster

Southern California is one of the hotbeds of competitive fighting game action in the US West Coast, with numerous tournaments taking place in the region. For any fighting game players who are thinking of passing by the region this July on the way to Evo, here’s one event you might want to check out.

Pasadena Regionals returns this year on July 28 to 29 — the weekend before Evo 2018. While last year’s event was solely focused on Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3, this year’s version has grown bigger and will now feature both Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite and Dragon Ball FighterZ in addition to UMvC3.

For those interested in attending (or even just watching), Pasadena Regionals 2018 will take place at 3887 E Sierra Madre Blvd. in Pasadena, CA. Registration for the event is now open over at smash.gg.

Get ready for “perfected” Ultra Instinct! Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 releases launch trailer for Extra Pack 2

Witness Ultra Instinct Goku before his final showdown!

Bandai Namco has finally given players a trailer and release date for the last known expansion, Extra Pack 2, for Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2. The trailer focuses on the upcoming characters, Goku (Ultra Instinct), Jiren, Android 17 (Dragon Ball Super), and Fu, and the Extra Scenario: Infinite History. Each character’s unique skills make them valuable additions to the roster.

Infinite History may be the most exciting addition to the long-supported title yet. During the new story, players join forces with their mentor and battle throughout history — but this time, it may never be the same. Unlike the previous story mode where history was meant to be preserved, anything goes!

The full extent of how much history can be changed has yet to be announced, but if its anything like the end of Xenoverse 2, players are in for some very interesting “What if?” scenarios. A few of the showcased events include Jiren teaming up with Goku Black and Zamasu and the long-awaited reunion of Tapion and Future Trunks. The upcoming DLC also includes an additional 5 Parallel Quests, 8 skills, 8 Super Souls and even more costumes!

There’s also a ton of free content coming to the game as well! Custom Saiyan characters will be able to unlock the power of Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan (Super Saiyan Blue), all custom characters will have access to the “Overlimit” skill, and Android 18 and Videl will be getting swimsuits! All of this content will release next week on February 28 on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC!

Don’t forget about the upcoming Dragon Ball FighterZ DLC either! Players who own both games will get access to the Android 21 outfit for custom characters. The release date for this content has yet to be announced.

The release of Extra Pack 2 may signal the end of the bulk of Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 content. Whether or not the title continues to receive DLC in the future, there is more than a wealth of things to experience; Bandai Namco has made a perfect example of post-release support.
