Has taken players through the life of Goku, is once again expanding its universe. This time, it’s with a new DLC based on Dragon Ball Daima, and yes – we finally got to see gameplay footage, and it looks amazing.
Bandai Namco has just shared the first glimpse of this new DLC, and fans can’t stop talking about it. Let’s break down everything we know so far in simple terms.
What is Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot?
For those who are new, Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot is a story-based game that follows the life of Goku – from childhood to adulthood. The game lets you fight, explore, eat, train, and even fish, just like in the anime. It gives you a complete experience of living in the Dragon Ball world.
It originally launched in 2020 and since then has released many DLCs, including stories from Bardock, Future Trunks, and even Goku’s battles in the 23rd Tenkaichi Budokai. Each DLC adds new stories and gameplay, keeping fans excited.
What is Dragon Ball Daima?
Before we jump into the DLC, let’s quickly talk about Dragon Ball Daima. This is a new upcoming anime created by Akira Toriyama himself, where Goku and his friends are turned into kids. Yes, it’s a bit like Dragon Ball GT – but with a fresh storyline and updated animation.
Daima promises to explore a world filled with magic and mystery. It’s still under production and will officially release in late 2024. But before the anime hits our screens, Kakarot is giving us an early taste through its DLC.
First Look at Daima DLC Gameplay in Kakarot
The new Daima DLC in Kakarot was recently shown during Bandai Namco’s Dragon Ball Games Battle Hour event. The gameplay revealed some exciting details:
- Kid Goku Returns: Goku is back in his younger form, just like in the Daima anime. His fighting style looks faster and lighter, focusing on acrobatics and power attacks.
- New Enemies & Environments: The DLC introduces mysterious new enemies and magical environments. You’ll explore new locations that haven’t been part of any Dragon Ball game so far.
- Story Mode Missions: The DLC is not just a side mission. It’s a fully story-driven experience where players will uncover the secrets behind Goku’s transformation into a child again.
- Smooth Visuals: Just like the earlier DLCs, this one also carries the same bright and anime-style visuals, which match the feel of the upcoming Daima anime.
Is This Connected to Dragon Ball GT?
While it may look similar – both show Goku as a kid – this story is completely different from Dragon Ball GT. Dragon Ball Daima has a unique plot, and it’s officially approved by Toriyama, the original creator.
So no, this is not GT. It’s a whole new story, and this DLC gives fans a first-hand look before the anime even begins.

- It’s the first gameplay reveal of Dragon Ball Daima.

Release Date and Availability
As of now, Bandai Namco hasn’t officially announced the release date for the Daima DLC. But sources suggest that it could launch later in 2025, possibly around the same time as the anime’s premiere.
The DLC will likely be available on all platforms – PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC.
