For those unaware, Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot’s season pass is said to contain two original story episodes and one new story arc, but since launch, it has been very unclear what that actually means. The result is that there are many fans that own the season pass but still, three months later, have no idea what it actually is. Bandai Namco has rectified this to an extent by revealing that Kakarot’s first DLC will feature Beerus, Whis, and a new training mode which allows players to unlock the Super Saiyan God form for Goku and Vegeta, but there is still so much fans don’t know.

Borderlands 3 DLC Roadmaps
In contrast to Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot’s tight lipped approach to its DLC, Borderlands 3 has been letting fans know what to expect since the game launched in September of 2019. For each month, Gearbox Software has succinctly laid out exactly what it is fans can expect, and it has also been incredibly generous in terms of post game support, providing some kind of new content almost every month, mostly for free. It’s no wonder that Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot fans are jealous of this approach, as while a little bit of mystery surrounding the season pass can be exciting, it’s high time more information is revealed.
That said, it’s not like Borderlands 3 spoils its DLC content by doing this, as fans still don’t know exactly what a DLC will be like just based on the name, but the added level of clarity is very nice. Compare this to Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot, for which devs have spoken up very little about the future of the game, and the contrast is easy to see. Most of the information known came from Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot DLC leaks by third parties and weren’t even actually officially announced till much later.
Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot DLC Roadmap
To make matters worse, the confusion around what the DLC will be has left many fans wondering if the Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot season pass is worth it. After some initial leaks, hype built around the concept of the Gods of the Universe saga being adapted in the style of Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot, so when it became clear that it would not be adapted in the traditional sense but instead added as a separate playable training episode, many were understandably disappointed.
Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot could release a DLC roadmap much like the ones from Borderlands 3, detailing what stories they’ll be adapting and what fans should expect from such adaptations. At this point, being open in communication with players is the best bet for developers, as many are starting to lose the sense of wonder that came with the game’s initial release but anticipation for additional content is at an all time high. Nonetheless, Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot was extremely successful, and for now fans should just place their trust in developers that they won’t go awry with the DLC content given that they did such a great job with the base game.
Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot is available now for PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
