What To Expect From Dragon Ball Project: Multi
Will Fans Take To This MOBA?
When it comes to playstyles, Project: Multi will allow players to choose a hero that serves as an "effective super aggressive damage" dealer, a persistent tank that's able to soak up enemy attacks, and a "technical role" that focuses on ing allies and disrupting enemies. Some of the combatants spotlighted in the trailer include Piccolo, Krillin, Trunks, and, of course, Goku himself. The full size of the roster is currently unknown but should Project: Multi gain a following, more fighters will likely be added through seasonal updates.
Bandai Namco has yet to disclose Project: Multi's monetization model but the game's description does state that it will sport plenty of cosmetics. These customization options range from simple skin changes to entrance animations and finishing moves, so it's easy to see these being sold as microtransactions. Whether that will be the case remains to be seen since it's currently unknown if the game will be free-to-play.
The big question surrounding the latest Dragon Ball game is whether or not the community is interested in a MOBA. The genre is incredibly competitive and is Dota 2 and League of Legends, so Project: Multi will need to compete with the titans of the industry if it wants to succeed. Given that it's so different from other adaptations of the franchise, it's difficult to tell whether fans will flock to a new Dragon Ball game that's not an outright fighting experience.
