With 2017 done and dusted, it’s time to look forward to what 2018 has to offer. Will there be more loot boxes, controversies that explode in our faces and at least one instance of a game being broken on launch. Probably! But it’ll also be a year filled with all manner of new games, titles which can scratch specific itches and prove that the video game industry is the single greatest entertainment medium alive today. Here’s a look at ten games that we’re hot under the collar for in the year ahead.

Here’s a question for you: What if Goku was actually evil? You’d get Goku Black, a character who I am convinced happens to be named as a tribute to AC/DC in Dragon Ball FighterZ. Check him out in action with this new trailer.

With Dragon Ball FighterZ a mere couple of weeks away from release, publisher Bandai Namco is prepping for the release of what could be the finest fighting game of 2018 already. It’s fluid, every single visual looks like it was ripped straight from the manga and developer Arc System Works looks set to walk away with a winner at the start of 2018. That being said, can your PC handle Dragon Ball FighterZ?

The year ahead has plenty of contenders for game of the year lined up. Here’s a look at every confirmed game so far, as well as those titles which are waiting on a date.

Listen, you can stick a Kamehameha where the Spirit Bomb don’t shine, because there are other characters in Dragon Ball FighterZ that I actually want to play as. While the roster already includes obvious fan favourites such as Android 18, Picollo and Majin Buu, the cast is about to get even better. Which is fantastic news for Yamcha, because people must be tired of using him to warm their back of their hands by now. According to Weekly Jump via Gematsu, Dragon Ball FighterZ will add Gotenks, Adult Gohan and Kid Buu to the mix.

In Dragon Ball FighterZ, Earth’s mightiest fighters have a new threat on their hands. An army of clones led by the brand new character of Android 21, designed by none other than Dragon Ball creator Akira Toriyama himself. Check it out below.

Dragon Ball FighterZ is aiming to make a crater sized impression early next year, as Bandai Namco confirms a January release date.

Even with a library of characters that often see’s more playtime than the Cranberries on a 90s rock radio station, there are a few characters who have had sparse time in the spotlight over the Dragon Ball years. It's time then, for Android 13 to make his presence known in Dragon Ball FighterZ.
