Bandai Namco is set to continue supporting Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero in a big way this year, and as it turns out, the fighter’s first update of 2026 is just around the corner.

Launching on the 26th January, the free update will add a new mode called ‘Mission 100’. As the name suggests, this is a collection of 100 single player battles, each packing a different challenge.

But this is apparently just the start for Sparking! Zero’s 2026. Another free update is scheduled for the spring, and that one’s going to introduce a dedicated ‘Survival Mode’.
