Currently in production by developer Dimps, Dragon Ball Z: Budokai 2 will launch in November.

"This new instalment in the authentically realised interactive Dragon Ball Z universe draws players further into the high octane world of Dragon Ball Z, so that they really feel like they're fighting in the world of the TV series" said Naoki Eguchi of Bandai Europe. "Dragon Ball Z: Budokai 2 features exciting new gameplay and gorgeous graphics, which will attract and hold DBZ® fans' attention like no other DBZ game has before."

With highly detailed cel-shaded graphics, Dragon Ball Z: Budokai 2 features 34 of the toughest, most seasoned heroes and villains from throughout the Dragon Ball Z sagas. Players can battle in eight highly destructive arenas covering five gameplay modes, including Versus, Tournament, Training and the all-new, single-player experience, Dragon Mode, where players join forces with a team of AI-controlled DBZ fighters on a quest to capture all seven Dragon Balls. Fans can perform fusions - the combination of two fighters into one - and play as the mighty villain BuuT, who appears in three forms: Maijin Buu, Super Buu, and Kid Buu.
