The latest "Dragon Ball" game, "FighterZ," is coming out early next year, and all that fans have had so far are brief details about the characters. That is, until now, as a new trailer has been released focusing more on some characters and most importantly, a big chunk of its gameplay.

The trailer was shown during the recently concluded Jump Festa 2017. Of the many characters the game has, it featured three: Beerus, Hit, and Goku Black. All three are the newest announced characters for the game. However, even before the trailer shows the three, there were a lot of gameplay mechanics featured.

As also revealed in the latest issue of "V-Jump Magazine," as per GameSpot, the game would feature "Dramatic Scenes." This means that the gamers can recreate the famous and iconic scenes and moments from the anime series to the game.

There are certain conditions that must be met for these scenes to be triggered, like a specific team character combination or a particular set of finishing moves on a certain character. The trailer shows this when Goku becomes a Super Saiyan and when Cell gets beaten by Gohan.

Another one of the new features gamers can expect in the game is called "Shenron System." In every match, players can collect Dragon Balls which will be displayed on-screen. These Dragon Balls can be collected by performing a certain number of combos. When all of them are completed, Shenron will appear and give players one of four options.

The first would allow gamers to restore their health while the second revives an ally at 50 percent health. The third and fourth are more about power, with the former boosting Ki gauge to the max and the latter auto-restoring the player's energy gauge.

"Dragon Ball FighterZ" will be coming out on Jan. 26, 2018. The game will be playable on the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC.
