Yamcha’s Japanese voice actor Toru Furuya mentioned on Twitter about three months ago that he couldn’t share much but he spent a whole day recording lines for Yamcha. [Thanks, Shonen Games.]

He recently responded to a fan who asked for more information with the following tweet:

The name of the game is a “Dragon Ball Fighters” released in 2018 . (^-^)https://t.co/5RF0AczNzb — 古谷徹 50周年 Thanks！ (@torushome) August 28, 2017

That said, we now know that Yamcha will be in the game one way or another. If he isn’t made a playable character, we’ll likely see him as a support character or part of the game’s story.

Dragon Ball FighterZ releases in February 2018 for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC. Check out our previous report for a look at SSGSS Goku and Vegeta kick some butt.
