Update: Watch Gameplay Of Android 17 In Dragon Ball FighterZ
Update (9/22 11:45 a.m. CT): Bandai Namco has followed up their screenshots with a short gameplay teaser of 17 in action. You can watch it below.
Update (10:41 a.m. CT): Bandai Namco tweeted an official reveal for Android 17 this morning featuring some in-game pictures. But that's not all, the Dragon Ball FighterZ publisher also promised a trailer dedicated to the android's move-set tomorrow.
The original story is as follows:
Japanese magazine V-Jump has confirmed that Android 17 is set to release in the next Dragon Ball FighterZ DLC as a stand-alone fighter. Though he has been in the game previously as a support character for his twin sister, Android 18, the playable Android 17 will more closely resemble his character in Dragon Ball Super.
His arsenal of attacks will include:
- Barrier Explosion- Generates a barrier, either on the ground or in the air, followed by a forward dash.
- End Game- Pop up behind an opponent for an attack flurry.
- Super Electric Strike: Meteor Attack- Energy revolves around Android 17's hands and, when charged, fires.
The DLC will be released late September for $4.99 (or as part of the FighteZ season pass) and coincides with an update bringing a new Space Arena stage for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and, though not mentioned in the original article, probably PC. Switch users will have to wait for a later date.
