Dragon Ball: Gekishin Squadra's upcoming Season 6 has sparked controversy among its player base, with fans criticizing changes to character reveals and the inclusion of certain skins behind a gacha system. While the season will introduce new content like Beerus and emotes, concerns about monetization strategies are dampening excitement.
Originally created by Akira Toriyama in 1984, the Dragon Ball franchise has gone on to become one of the most successful manga and anime series of all time.
Adapted into two anime series: Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z, airing from 1986 to 1989 and 1989 to 1996, the franchise has also expanded to include 21 animated feature films, television specials, live-action projects, graphic novels, trading card games, and video games. One such entry is Dragon Ball: Gekishin Squadra, an action RPG released in 2025 for PlayStation, PC, Android, and iOS.
Developed by Ganbarion, it is a free-to-play, team-oriented title where players can personalize their favorite heroes, entrance animations, and special finisher animations, and take to the battlefield either alone or with allies. The official synopsis states, "Enter the world of Dragon Ball by bringing your favorite characters' earth-shaking strength to the battlefield, and join up with your friends and allies to defeat your opponents and dominate the objectives.
Grow your strength throughout each round, unlock game-changing attacks and abilities, and obliterate enemy players and bosses alike.
" The game offers intense 4v4 battles, with heroes categorized into roles: Damage, Tank, or Technical. Each role has unique abilities and powers, requiring players to form the best strategy to succeed. Customization of beloved Dragon Ball characters makes it a must-play for fans. Now, Season 6 of Dragon Ball: Gekishin Squadra is on the way with a dedicated roadmap.
Beginning on July 8, the new season will introduce a new hero, Beerus, as well as a new emote. Four new skins will also be added. Starting July 22, more content is planned, though details remain secret.
However, on the subreddit r/DBGekishinSquadra, some fans are unhappy with the Season 6 plans. One user expressed anger about the character reveal changes and the Goku and Piccolo skins. They criticized the new approach, suggesting it is designed to encourage spending money on gems to obtain desired characters and emotes. The user also complained about the wait between major releases and the Piccolo skin being locked behind a gacha system, requiring real-money purchases for a chance to acquire it.
In conclusion, they said, "Not too excited for this season. Beerus is cool. I'm excited for him and, well... that's it. Nothing else to say.
Everything else kind of ruins my mood a bit, except for the patch notes, which were alright. Again, not the worst, not the best, but I'll take it over what we've been getting recently.
" Other fans echoed similar sentiments, indicating that Dragon Ball: Gekishin Squadra is facing community dissatisfaction despite the upcoming content. Key details: Dragon Ball Gekishin Squadra is an Action MOBA released September 9, 2025, rated Teen for blood and violence. Developed by Ganbarion and published by Bandai Namco Entertainment, it features online multiplayer and co-op, cross-platform play, and cross-save across all platforms with some limits
