Dragon Ball FighterZ is Getting Rollback Netcode

  

Following the conclusion of the EVO 2022 Dragon Ball FighterZ finals, the game's producer, Tomoko Hiroki, took the stage to make some special announcements. Through a translator, Hiroki said that after much demand from fans, the development team has decided to update Dragon Ball FighterZ with Rollback Netcode! While that's really great news for DBFZ players looking to have a smoother online experience in the coming months and years, Hiroki ended on a bittersweet note, confirming that development on DBFZ has officially ended. Below is a Twitter video courtesy of @HiFight showing the moment Hiroki announced the rollback update.
 

  
"With the latest update, which just released a few weeks ago, we believe that Dragon Ball FighterZ has been tuned to to its finest," stated Hiroki. "We do not have any future plans for new characters or additional balance adjustments." 

According to Hiroki, the Rollback Netcode enhancement will be coming only to PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Steam (and not Nintendo Switch). "For players who already have the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One versions, we do plan to provide you with upgrade paths, through an upgrade program," said Hiroki.

In related EVO '22 news from Friday, SNK also announced a rollback netcode update planned for Samurai Shodown (2019) next year.
 




  
The Dragon Ball FighterZ producer did not specify exactly when fans can expect the Rollback Netcode enhancement to drop, but we'll keep you updated. Stay tuned on Fighters Generation for more EVO '22 news throughout the weekend!
