Dragon Ball fans, stop scrolling — because Bandai Namco just dropped a giant pile of news for the game you might not have expected to care about today. DRAGON BALL GEKISHIN SQUADRA, the free-to-play 4v4 team fighter, is celebrating its first anniversary with Super Gogeta, a complete battle system overhaul, and a giveaway that hands players up to 140 free capsules. If you wrote this one off as “just another mobile Dragon Ball game,” the next few paragraphs might change your mind.
Super Gogeta headlines Season 7
During today’s “SQUADRA Talk” livestream, Chief Producer TOSHI and Producer KEN confirmed that Super Gogeta — the fusion of Goku and Vegeta that fans have been begging for since launch — joins the roster when Season 7 kicks off on September 9. He’s not the only new face: Android 19 arrives as a new Helper for the Technical role, and San-Shinron steps in as a new boss. Starting this season, the boss lineup will rotate every two weeks, which should keep the endgame feeling fresh instead of stale.
The Year-End Overhaul changes everything
Here’s the big one. Bandai Namco announced a massive Year-End Overhaul that shifts battles from the current top-down perspective to a third-person, over-the-shoulder camera. That’s not a small tweak — it’s a completely different feel, bringing players closer to the action and pushing the game toward a more action-oriented combat system. The rules are also being redesigned with simpler win conditions, while keeping the strategic teamwork that defines GEKISHIN SQUADRA. Hero abilities get reworked too, and players will be able to equip “MAX Super Attacks” that replace existing Super Attacks for extra customization.
The team says they’ve been listening to player feedback since launch, and this overhaul is their vision for keeping Dragon Ball battles exciting for years to come. If you’ve got questions about how your existing items and player data will carry over, the devs are taking them through the official Discord.
Anniversary freebies: 140 capsules, login rewards, and more
Season 7 packs seven major campaigns. The highlight is the “Open Up to 140 Capsules! Open 5 a Day! Free G-Capsules” campaign, which resets daily across two periods during the season — yes, that’s 140 free capsules if you log in consistently. There’s also an Anniversary Celebration G-Capsule, anniversary login rewards including the 1st Anniversary Party Hat, Special Passes, and the “GEKISHIN Rules Play Campaign” starting September 9 with a special SP Cell Jr. appearing in matches. Later come Lucky Box Battle events, Halloween-themed Skin Bundles, in-game tournaments, and more.
Where can you play?
DRAGON BALL GEKISHIN SQUADRA is available now on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, PC via Steam, and mobile devices via the App Store and Google Play — free to play with optional in-app purchases. The Year-End Overhaul rolls out through the remainder of 2026, with more details coming in future SQUADRA Talk streams.
This is a big moment for the Dragon Ball game scene, which has had a busy year — even as a certain French theme park project hit trouble with rights holders. For franchise fans, the timing is interesting: Super Gogeta landing right as the anniversary hype peaks is exactly the kind of move that brings lapsed players back.
What do you think?
Are you excited about Super Gogeta joining the roster? Does the third-person overhaul win you over, or were you fine with the top-down view? Will you be grinding those 140 free capsules? Drop your thoughts in the comments — and tell us which character you want added next!
The stream also kicked off with a nod to the competitive scene: RamGoat, representing the EU region, was congratulated for winning the SQUADRA BLAST WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP 2026. It’s a reminder that beneath the freebie hype, Gekishin Squadra has quietly built a real esports community — the kind of foundation that makes a “small” Dragon Ball game worth taking seriously.
