The Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero leaks have begun a week before its official release date — and Bandai Namco has responded in perhaps the only way it can: with takedowns and shifty eyes.
It seems someone got hold of a copy of the game early and, as is the internet way, started streaming the game. It didn’t take long for Bandai Namco to nuke that stream from orbit, but of course the internet noticed and never forgets.
Since then, Bandai Namco has worked to plug further leaks, but it faces an uphill battle at this stage. And in a tweet responding to the leaks, Bandai Namco made clear it’s keeping an eye (or two) on the internet. In any case, if you’re mindful of spoilers, now might be the time to batten down the hatches.

Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero is one of IGN’s most anticipated games still to come in 2024. It’s a true sequel to the Budokai Tenkaichi series that has been largely dormant ever since Budokai Tenkaichi 3 came out way back in 2007 on the PlayStation 2. There's a lot we already know about the game, much of which is covered in IGN’s Dragon Ball Sparking! Zero preview, and we recently got a chance to speak with producer Jun Furutani for more insight into the development and Bandai Namco’s plans for the future.
