This chapter not only brings an epic conclusion to Fu's timeline-altering schemes but also introduces exciting new playable characters to the roster. For players on Steam, this is a pivotal moment, offering fresh fighters and content that reshape battles and narrative alike. Let's dive into the specifics of the Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 Steam Chapter 4 new characters and what they bring to your universe.
The Future Saga Chapter 4 DLC: New Playable Characters
The eagerly anticipated Future Saga Chapter 4 DLC officially concludes the long-running storyline and adds two distinct playable characters directly tied to its narrative climax. These additions mark a significant expansion for players seeking to master new fighting styles and experience the ultimate resolution of the Future Saga.
The two new playable characters introduced with the Future Saga Chapter 4 DLC are:
- Supreme Kai of Time (Ultra Supervillain): After Fu's escalating experiments and alliance with Golden Frieza, the Supreme Kai of Time finds herself in a corrupted, supervillain state. This form promises a unique and potentially darker playstyle for the usually benevolent guardian of history. Her inclusion directly reflects the dire stakes of Chapter 4, where the very fabric of time is threatened.
- Goku (Ultra Supervillain Quelled): This version of Goku represents a fascinating counterpoint to the supervillain corruption. Described as "Ultra Supervillain Quelled," it suggests a Goku who has either overcome or is in the process of resisting Fu's influence, offering a powerful yet potentially conflicted fighter. This character is crucial for players looking to restore balance and protect history from ultimate collapse.
These characters are central to the final act of the Future Saga, where players must push their limits to counter Fu's plans and prevent the disappearance of those who fought to protect Earth. Acquiring them means diving into the paid Future Saga Chapter 4 DLC pack, available on Steam and other platforms.
Unleash Super Saiyan Power: Bardock's Free Festival Update
Beyond the paid DLC, DRAGON BALL XENOVERSE 2 also rolled out a significant free update around the launch of Future Saga Chapter 4, introducing a highly anticipated version of a fan-favorite Saiyan: Bardock. This "festival" version of Bardock comes with a unique battle-damaged aesthetic and a brand-new ultimate skill that brings fresh combat possibilities.
This new Bardock is characterized by his iconic battle-damaged look, reminiscent of his legendary confrontation with Frieza, and notably, his appearance in "Episode of Bardock" where he faces Chilled. What makes this version particularly exciting is his exclusive new ultimate: Revenge Assault.
Maximize Bardock's camaraderie during Elite Patrol weeks.
Participating in Elite Patrols, Parallel Quests, and Expert Missions with Bardock in your party is an efficient way to level up his friendship, allowing you to quickly unlock his new ultimate skill.
Revenge Assault is more than just an attack; it's a combined ultimate and Awoken skill. Much like Teen Gohan's "Violent Flash," this skill allows Bardock to transform into Super Saiyan as part of the attack sequence. The move initiates with a series of powerful combos, leading into an instant Super Saiyan transformation, and culminates in a significantly larger, flaming projectile, akin to an amplified Riot Javelin. This cinematic and devastating attack makes the festival Bardock a formidable addition to any player's roster.
To obtain this version of Bardock and his Revenge Assault skill, players need to participate in the ongoing "Festival of the Universes" in Conton City. Bardock spawns in the lobby, and you must build up your camaraderie (friendship) with him. This is typically achieved by undertaking various missions, such as Parallel Quests, Cross Versus, and Expert Missions, with Bardock as your mentor or in your party.
Mastering Your New Fighters: Abilities and Acquisition
The new characters in Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 Steam Chapter 4 and the accompanying free update offer diverse gameplay opportunities. Understanding how to acquire them and what they bring to the table is key to dominating battles.
- Supreme Kai of Time (Ultra Supervillain) & Goku (Ultra Supervillain Quelled): These characters are unlocked by purchasing the "Future Saga Chapter 4" DLC. Once acquired, they become available in your character selection, offering distinct movesets tailored to their corrupted and quelled states, respectively. Their abilities are designed to reflect their unique narrative roles within the final chapter of the Future Saga.
- Super Saiyan Bardock (Battle Damaged / Festival Version): As a free update character, Bardock requires interaction within Conton City. Engage with him during the Festival of the Universes, and actively work to increase his camaraderie. Once his friendship level is high enough, you'll unlock his new ultimate, Revenge Assault, and gain access to this specific playable variant.
Each new fighter brings a fresh dynamic to DRAGON BALL XENOVERSE 2. The Ultra Supervillain forms suggest abilities focused on disruption and overwhelming force, while Bardock's Revenge Assault provides a powerful, transformative offensive option. Experimenting with their unique supers, ultimates, and stat distributions will be essential for players looking to optimize their combat strategies.
Beyond Characters: Chapter 4's Concluding Saga
While new characters are a major highlight, Future Saga Chapter 4 on Steam also delivers a wealth of additional content that wraps up the epic storyline. Players can look forward to:
- Ultra Time Patrol Battles: Experience new challenges that push your skills to their limits as you confront the ultimate threats to history.
- New Time Gallery Feature: Dive deeper into the lore and events of the Future Saga, likely offering insights and collectibles related to Fu's grand scheme.
- Final Extra Missions Arc: Engage in new story-driven missions that bring the Future Saga's narrative to a climactic close.
