The Masked Saiyan, Metal Cooler, Nail, & Future Trunks Show Their Power in These Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 Gameplay Trailers

With its official release in North America merely a day away, the hype for Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 has reached a fever pitch. To keep the train of excitement rolling into the station, Bandai Namco Entertainment Europe has continued its series of gameplay trailer releases, focusing on a quartet of combatants from various eras of the Dragon Ball universe.

First up, we have the Masked Saiyan, a warrior who is under the control of the villainous Towa and Mira. With the symbol of the Time Breakers on the forehead of the mask, who debuted in Dragon Ball Online and Dragon Ball Heroes, this evil Saiyan is returning from the first Xenoverse. He also bears a familiar resemblance to a certain legendary Saiyan. You can see him dominating Super Saiyan 3 Goku on the World Martial Arts Tournament stage, with a variety of speedy melee attacks, including his signature “Self-Destruct,” below.

Next up, we have Metal Cooler, making his Xenoverse debut. This alternate form of Frieza’s brother first appeared in the film Return of Cooler and is the result of the tyrant’s remains being forcibly merged with the Big Gete Star, which allowed him to mass-produce a myriad of clones in order to take over New Namek. He possesses versions of the Cooler Supernova as his Ultimate and the Death Laser, shared with his flesh incarnation, as well as a smaller version of the Supernova he can use as a regular Ki Attack. In addition, he has his unique Lock-On Buster, which allows him to fire an invisible beam at his opponent.

We keep things going with Nail, one of the most powerful Warrior-class Namekians, who will also be making his first appearance in Xenoverse, after last being playable in Budokai Tenkaichi 3 and Raging Blast 2. Using his Mystic Attack, Mystic Flasher and Super Explosive Wave, he looks to get revenge in a rematch with Frieza below.

Finally, Bandai Namco Entertainment Europe provides us with our first look at Future Trunks, who is an Early Access character who comes with the game’s Deluxe Edition. This is a second version of the character, based off of his most recent appearance in the “Future Trunks” arc currently going on in Dragon Ball Super, with blue hair and eyebrows. He will utilize different sword attacks than his Z counterpart, and will also have his own version of the Final Flash, as well as a Double Masenko and a Super Sayian 2 transformation. You can see him deliver some justice to Goku Black below.
