Bandai Namco has officially announced that the fifth DLC for Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot will introduce an exciting addition to the roster of playable characters and a new gameplay feature.
This highly anticipated DLC will center around the 23rd World Martial Arts tournament, which marks the thrilling culmination of the Dragon Ball series before its transformation into Dragon Ball Z.
As the release date of Dragon Ball Z Kakarot’s DLC 4 draws near, fans are already speculating about the upcoming DLC 5, its content, and its anticipated arrival. Fortunately, thanks to some fortunate leaks recently shared by the well-known Dragon Ball insider DbsHype, the next DLC is strongly believed to revolve around the 23rd Tenkaichi Budokai arc from the original Dragon Ball series.

Taking place towards the conclusion of the original anime, this arc showcases a youthful Goku engaging in a momentous battle against Piccolo for the very first time. Notably, this DLC will offer a rare opportunity to experience content from the original Dragon Ball series, a rarity outside of titles like Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi and a select few others.
Has the Official Release Date for Dragon Ball Z Kakarot DLC 5 Been Confirmed?
While the release date for Dragon Ball Z Kakarot DLC 5 has not been officially confirmed, based on previous release patterns, we can speculate that it may arrive approximately six months after the launch of DLC 4 on January 13, 2023.
You can find the release dates for highly anticipated games here:
- Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty Release Date – The Highly Anticipated Expansion Finally Gets Launch
- Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2 Release Date – The Long-Awaited Sequel Set to Mesmerize Gamers
Historically, each DLC pack was released within six months following the previous one. Applying this pattern, it is reasonable to anticipate that DLC 5 could be released in the speculated window of June/July 2023.
Aside from Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi and a few other select games, this arc occurs exactly after the conclusion of the original anime and features Goku facing off against Piccolo for the first time as a much younger person.
Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot is accessible on Nintendo Switch, PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S platforms.
