WhenDragon Ball Z: Kakarotlaunched last January, CyberConnect2 andBandai Namco also revealed a season passfor the game, which can be purchased now and is described to contain 2 original story episodes and 1 new story arc. Unfortunately, even after the main game release over a month ago, the specific contents of its upcoming DLC are still unknown.
Now, after recent leaks from a reputableDragon Ball Zreporter, it appears that the likeliest events that the first season pass will adapt will bethe events of the Gods of the Universe Saga. A few weeks ago, a leaked picture that showed a tree from Beerus' homeworld suggested that the first half of the Gods of the Universe Saga will be featured in the DLC at the very least. Of course, it is also possible that the second half featuring Golden Frieza will be included as well.

However, ifDBZ: Kakarot’sfirst season pass will feature the entire Gods of the Universe saga, then there will be little, if any, to be covered inDragon Ball Z.So what does this mean for the possibility of a second season pass forDragon Ball Z: Kakarot? Will it feature original content? Or will it go beyond the canonical events that make upDragon Ball Z?
DBZ: Kakarot’s Upcoming Season Pass Will Be The First and the Last
Although it is difficult to tell right now given that the first season pass is still shrouded in mystery, there is a possibility that the upcoming season pass will beDBZ: Kakarot’sfirst and last. As previously mentioned, assuming that the first season pass will cover the entirety of the Gods of the Universe saga, then there won’t be anything left to fill up a second season pass.
Of course, there is the possibility of Bandai Namco wanting to cover the movies featuring the “legendary Super Saiyam,” especially sincedataminers uncovered Broly withinDBZ: Kakarot’sgame files. It is also possible for a second season pass to feature crossover events. InDBZ: Kakarot,players would encounter characters that aren’t even from the anime such as Android 21, Mira, and Towa. However, this route is highly unlikely, given that these characters aren’t even fromDragon Ball Z, which is why it is likely that the upcoming season pass will be the game’s last.
DBZ: Kakarot’s Second Season Pass Will Feature New Story Arcs
Another possibility that could justify a second season pass forDBZ: Kakarotis for Bandai Namco to feature original story arcs that are not currently present inDragon Ball Z’scanon. The second season pass could expand the story of some ofDBZ’scharacters and villains, giving hardcore fans more content to consume after finishing the main game and the upcoming first season pass once it’s released.
This theory will give Bandai Namco an opportunity to extendDragon Ball Z’slore, and extend the longevity ofDragon Ball Z: Kakarot. If Bandai Namco decides to go this route and release a second season pass with original content, then it would be interesting to see how the new story will be tied up to the existing history and extensive lore ofDragon Ball Z.
DBZ: Kakarot May Get Super DLC For Its Second Season Pass
Of course, if Bandai Namco truly wants to feature a second season pass forDBZ: Kakarot, then it could adaptDragon Ball Superinto the game as many hoped. However, while there is a slight possibility this would happen, it is highly unlikely. It is important to remember thatDragon Ball Z: Kakarotin itself is already a jam-packed game that covered the Saiayn Sagaall the way to the Buu Saga. The first season pass will also extend the game’s content with the likeliest contender to be the events of the Gods of the Universe saga.
Given this,DBZ: Kakarotdoesn’t really need any additional season pass, because of the simple fact that it already has a lot, with more on the way, and coveringDragon Ball Super’s extensive story would be too much. However, if Bandai Namco truly wants to adaptDragon Ball Superin a video game, then the most realistic scenario would be to develop a new title altogether. This would give Bandai Namco and CyberConnect 2 the opportunity to truly exploreDragon Ball Superand faithfully adapt and dig deeper into its numerous events.
In the end, it is difficult to speculate whetherDragon Ball Z: Kakarotwill be receiving a second season pass, especially since the first one is still unreleased, andits specific contents are still a mystery. However, given the commercial success ofDBZ: Kakarot, it is only understandable that Bandai Namco would want to capitalize on the game’s popularity by extending its life with post-launch DLC.
