Last week, we reported that Future Trunks would be joining the playable cast of Dragon Ball FighterZ, according to Weekly Jump. In the accompanying screenshot, he was performing his signature Heat Dome attack. The official Dragon Ball Game Twitter account has released another screenshot of the time-traveling Saiyan, as he has just stricken Frieza with what appears to be his Lighting Sword Slash, which he used to destroy Android 14 in the film Super Android 13! You can see the Tweet that includes the screenshot below.

This also confirms he’ll be utilizing his signature sword in battle, undoubtedly giving him extremely long reach on his normals and specials, compared to the rest of the current cast members. Though no other details were given, we’ll hopefully be seeing a gameplay trailer for this fighter soon. Other characters confirmed for the title include Goku, Teen Gohan, Vegeta, Frieza, Perfect Cell, and Majin Buu. With Trunks clearly donning his Capsule Corp jacket from DBZ, it will be interesting to see if Kid Trunks or his new transformation from Dragon Ball Super will make an appearance in this title.

Dragon Ball FighterZ is expected to be released in early 2018 for PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC, with a closed beta being released before the end of the summer.
