Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot details the main story arcs in the popular anime Dragon Ball Z series, and it features the main character's name, Sayian, Goku. Although it has its name in the title, we have seen short play sequences of other characters with high levels in the game. Which characters will you be able to play throughout the overall story?
Goku is the most notable hero, but he's not the only one leading the main fights. For example, during the Cell Saga, Goku's son Gohan walks past his father at a Super Sayian 2 and confronts Cell, saving the earth. It was his time and his time to shine, which makes sense if you play through this arc in Kakarot, you are going to play as Gohan. There are other notable characters on the show who have heroic moments when they stand up to the bad guys, whether they win or lose.
So far, these are the confirmed playable characters you can have in the game:
- Goku
- Gohan (child, adolescent, adult)
- Small
- Gotenks
- Trunks (Future)
- Vegeta
- Vegito
Each character will have a unique skill tree with different abilities and attacks that you can unlock. You have to upgrade them separately from Goku, so you can expect to spend time with your favorite characters fighting enemies in the game, increasing their power levels, and preparing them for their next big fight. Some fighters may have similar moves, like Gohan and Goku sharing the Kamehameha special attack.
These are all characters confirmed so far. But we could learn more about others when the game comes out. If that happens, we'll update this guide to reflect that knowledge when we get our hands on the title. We might expect some surprising cameos from notable people who have stepped forward throughout the franchise, giving them a moment to shine in Kakarot.
If you want to grab the game for your PC, you might want to recheck Kakarot's system requirements to see if your hardware is capable of playing it. You'll also want to check out the available pre-order bonuses if you're looking to grab the game ahead of its January 16 release.
Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot officially releases January 16 for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC.
