Kid Goku from Dragon Ball GT is coming to Dragon Ball FighterZ as part of the FighterZ Pass 2

Here comes a new… Goku!

The Dragon Ball FighterZ roster is not lacking for versions of series protagonist Goku, and Bandai Namco has now confirmed that the next fighter to join the cast as part of FighterZ Pass 2 will be yet another one: this time will be a bit more of a departure however, because this Goku is in fact Kid Goku, as he appears in the Dragon Ball GT series.

From the press release:

After an errant wish by Emperor Pilaf, Goku has been transformed into a child during the Dragon Ball GT series. This younger Goku packs a big punch with special attacks like the Super Kamehameha attack, transforming him into Super Saiyan 3. Goku is also able to use his Super Spirit Bomb, Power Pole, and Reverse Kamehameha to flatten the competition.

Could the “secret move” be a transformation into Super Saiyan 4…? We’ll have to wait and see.

Kid Goku joins the FighterZ Pass 2 character DLC package alongside the already-available Jiren and Videl, upcoming additions Broly (Dragon Ball Super) and Gogeta (SSGSS), and one more yet-to-be-announced fighter. Kid Goku’s release date is yet-unrevealed, but the FighterZ Pass 2 is available now for $24.99 USD. Dragon Ball FighterZ is available on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and Steam.
