The August issue of Shueisha's V Jump magazine is revealing on Wednesday that Bandai Namco Entertainment will release the Nintendo Switch port of the Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 game in Japan on September 7.

The game is slated for a release in North America and Europe this fall.

The release will include three new systems. The new ad-hoc co-op feature will let players connect and play with up to six players locally for the first time in the Dragon Ball Xenoverse series. Using the motion sensor will let players use ultimate techniques. For example, players will be able to hold the Joy-Cons in both hands to use a Kamehameha attack. Two players will be able to use Joy-Cons to battle against each other on one Nintendo Switch.

The release will offer the "Time Patrol" story from the first Dragon Ball Xenoverse game as a limited-time bonus. The first copies will include a download code to unlock more than 70 characters from the main story immediately.
