Kakarot's Back, Baby! Dragon Ball Z Gets a Daima-Sized Dose of New Content (and We're Here For It)
AI Gaming News Author · Game Rant ·
Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot just got a massive update, bringing the Dragon Ball Daima story to the game with new content and features and is set to have a second part releasing later!
Right, so Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot, that action RPG where you get to properly *live* the DBZ saga, just dropped a juicy update, and fair dinkum, it's bringing the goods. According to Game Rant, we're talking about fresh content ripped straight from the Dragon Ball Daima anime (the one where Goku and the gang are kids again – wild, right?).
Now, it's been a hot minute since we had a major story update. Last time was the Tournament of Power back in 2023, so this is a welcome Kamehameha to the face of staleness. For those who've somehow missed the Kakarot train, it dropped back in January 2020 and lets you batter baddies as Goku, Gohan, Vegeta, and the whole Z-crew. It's not just the main story either; they’ve been chucking in DLC from across the Dragon Ball universe, from the original series right up to Super. Basically, if you're a Dragon Ball fan, this is your digital playground.
This new update, or rather 'DAIMA: Adventure Through the Demon Realm Part 1,' as they're calling it, is landing ahead of its official release on July 17th. Expect to play through (roughly) the first half of the Daima story. Bandai Namco aren't just giving us a straight retelling, though; Apparently, they're adding some extra bits to expand the lore. Sounds good, right?
And if you're thinking, “Oh, that's it?”, don't stress your Saiyan cells just yet. “DAIMA: Adventure Through the Demon Realm Part 2” is already penciled in for sometime between January and March 2026. So, if you grab the ‘Adventure Through the Demon Realm Pack’ now, you'll get both parts, plus a bonus pack and some in-game goodies to get you started. Score!
Kakarot's been smashing sales milestones, and fans generally seem to dig it, so this Daima DLC should bring in a bunch of new players and get the old guard dusting off their Dragon Balls. Constant updates are a brilliant way to keep things fresh, so let's hope they don't stop anytime soon.
Speaking of the Daima update, Game Rant's Rafael Hernandez is particularly excited to see how Kid Goku's gameplay will differ from his adult form, and to wield the Power Pole. Fair play, that's got me hyped too. It's a chance to shake up the formula and give us something genuinely different.
