Bandai Namco hasreleasedsome new screenshots showcasing some of the best scenes from the Saiyan Saga inDragon Ball Z: Kakarot.The images show one of the earlier battles in the game between Goku, Piccolo, and Raditz, as well as the final string of fights in that arc between Goku, Nappa, Vegeta, and the rest of the Z Fighters. You can check all of the screenshots down below.
The first few images show Goku grabbing Raditz’s tail, which he then uses to restrain him so Piccolo can shoot off his Special Beam Cannon technique. We also see the moment where Goku dies in the series for the first time. Additionally, we get a bit of a deeper look at the battle on Earth against Nappa and Vegeta. There’s an absolutely gorgeous still of Vegeta’s iconic Galick Gun beam in action as well as Nappa’s Exploding Wave. Based on the images, all of these screenshots are likely taken directly from the boss battles players will take on inDragon Ball Z: Kakarot.
Dragon Ball Z: Kakarotwill be the first single-player focused RPG in some time.
