Bandai Namco has revealed the announcement trailer for a new Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi, number 4 in the fighting game series.

What makes this game announcement more surprising is that Arc System Works has already been killing it for a few years with the high-quality fighting game Dragon Ball FighterZ; one would have thought this would be the fighting game to get a sequel.

Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 4 Announced (Gamereactor UK)

After 15 years, the Dragon Ball fighting game series is back, but so far without a release date.

And few of them have been as successful as the Budokai Tenkaichi series (though admittedly they're more show than fair competition titles), whose last instalment, Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 3, saw the light of day 15 years ago for Wii and PlayStation 2, so this new announcement has the community excited. We'll be on the lookout for more news on Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 4, but in the meantime, enjoy the moment and check out the trailer below. Since the series hit TV screens almost 40 years ago, we have had a multitude of games that have tried to recreate with varying degrees of success the sensations of being a saiyan like Goku, Vegeta, Gohan or Trunks, or saving the world from Piccolo Daimaoh, or travelling on the Kinton cloud (and doing the chorus of the anime's opening in the process).
