DBZ fans rejoice, because today we have awesome news. Bandai Visual just announced that the Dragon Ball Saga will become an online game called “Dragon Ball Online”. Toriyama will supervise the project, and the Tokyo/Seoul company “NTL” will be developing it. They claim for this game to be done and released by 2008 in Japan, with a beta test in Korea this summer. They still haven’t decided on the fees for the game, as well as how periodically it will be.

This game’s scenario will be a world several hundred years after the DB saga, that means we can see out favorite characters duking it out as well as other new, exclusive characters. As for customization, it’s said that you can freely customize hair, clothing and facets; as for gameplay, you can group with other players and take on quests or defeat powerful bosses, and you can challenge another player, now a MMORPG standard.

Looks awesome. With all the boom that Dragon Ball causes in all the countries it touches, I expect this game in the Americas soon after release.
