Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero receives a free update today, January 26, 2026, introducing the challenging single-player Mission 100 mode. Developed by BANDAI NAMCO and Spike Chunsoft, this addition expands the game's solo experience with 100 unique missions. Further content, including Survival Mode and a major DLC, is planned for later in 2026.
On January 26, 2026, BANDAI NAMCO Entertainment and Spike Chunsoft released a free update for Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero, adding the new single-player mode called Mission 100. This mode is accessible within a newly added "Ultimate Battle" section in the main menu, where the existing "Custom Battle" has been relocated. Mission 100 challenges players with 100 unique missions, each featuring distinct objectives and battle scenarios that test skill, strategy, and knowledge of the game's roster. It aims to provide variety and replayability for fans of the Dragon Ball series.
The update builds on the game's foundation as an action and fighting title, originally released on October 10, 2024, for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, PC via Steam, and Nintendo Switch. Note that content updates arrive slightly later on Switch platforms compared to others.
Looking ahead, Survival Mode is scheduled for spring 2026. This endurance-focused mode will feature continuous battles that increase in difficulty, emphasizing resource management and tactical choices to complement Mission 100's challenges.
Additionally, a major paid DLC expansion is set for summer 2026. It will introduce playable characters such as Super Android 17, King Piccolo, and Super Saiyan Bardock, along with new stages, costumes—including variants for young Gohan—and customizable super attacks. These enhancements promise more personalization and strategic depth in combat.
This rollout of free and paid content positions Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero as a growing option for Dragon Ball enthusiasts, supporting both solo and multiplayer modes throughout 2026.
