'Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2' release date, updates: Hit from 'Dragon Ball Super' added as playable fighter

(Facebook/Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2)Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 is scheduled to hit U.S. market shelves on Oct. 25.

A new character has been added to the huge roster of "Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2" and he was recently part of the animated series titled "Dragon Ball Super." The ESRB rating for the upcoming game has also come out and it has been rated T for Teen.

It was revealed recently that Hit will be a playable fighter for "Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2" and he is actually a new character for the franchise as well. He first made his appearance during the Universe 6 saga of "Dragon Ball Super" when the story arc focused on a big tournament where Universe 6 and Universe 7 had to go against each other. Son Goku and his allies are actually part of Universe 7 while Hit was an assassin for Universe 6.

It is not only Hit who will join the ranks of the game as Goku Black will become part of it as well. Based on a report from Forbes, a reveal trailer was released previously for Goku Black and it showed him and Vegeta in his Super Saiyan Blue form battling it out. In "Dragon Ball Super," Son Goku is actually still dealing with the main antagonist until now and it is getting harder for the heroes to defeat him.

Goku Black first appeared in the animated series when he decimated Future Trunks' timeline. As the plot of the show went further, his true power was also unveiled, which was the Super Saiyan Rose. It is even speculated that the villain may have a huge connection to the game's story since time travel is involved.

Furthermore, the rating from the Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB) for the upcoming title has already been given out and it is T for Teen. The description of the rating summary mentioned: "Cutscenes depict characters being vaporized, exploding into fiery balls, or being struck by laser beams. The game contains some suggestive material: one character is depicted with torn clothing and partially exposed buttocks; one sequence depicts a man staring at bikini-clad women in a magazine called 'Sexy.' The word 'a**' appears in the dialogue."

"Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2" is expected to be released for the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One consoles on Oct. 25 for North America and Oct. 28 for Europe. It will be made available on Nov. 2  in Japan. The PC version will be out worldwide on Oct. 27.
