Dragon Ball fans know all too well that the iconic anime show could take quite some time to get things going. The patience learned from waiting for multi-episode Spirit Bombs to be completed will be useful as the Dragon Ball FighterZ closed beta has been delayed.

Beta signs were supposed to begin on Wednesday, July 26th, but due to an overwhelming amount of player enthusiasm, developers are making some changes to allow for more players to enter.

This is going to set things back about a month as the new sign up date will now be on August 22, with the actual beta running almost a month after that from September 16 -18.

Bandai Namco also mentioned they want to ensure that their servers will be able to hold all those who enter, the manipulation of which is likely a major factor in the delay.

We've yet to find information on how to sign up for the beta outside of Japan, but will relay that information once it is released some time over the next month.
