Dragon Ball FighterZ is headed to the Nintendo Switch soon, however, Switch users won't have to wait until September 28th to get their hands on it.

Bandai Namco announced this morning that an open beta test will be conducted for the Nintendo Switch version of Dragon Ball FighterZ.

Details about the beta are scarce at the moment, but those who wish to participate can look forward to doing so sometime in August.

Though it has yet to be unveiled by Bandai Namco, the beta will likely feature an online versus mode — as beta tests are usually ran as a way to test a game's netplay before launch. Last week, we also heard of an open beta being set up for Dragon Ball FighterZ on Nintendo Switch in Japan that is set to include local 3v3 player matches.

In addition to the beta announcement today, Bandai Namco also revealed that the Switch version of Dragon Ball FighterZ will include two new local multiplayer modes: 2v2 / 1v1 Match and offline 6-player Party Match mode.

Big things are happening in August for Dragon Ball FighterZ, it seems. Not only will Switch owners be able to try out the game early via the open beta, but two new DLC characters are expected to drop early next month.

Base Form Goku and Base Form Vegeta are next in line on the DLC roster, each donning a look pulled from the original Saiyan Saga. Goku will utilize classic attacks such as the Spirit Bomb and Kaioken, while Vegeta will be able to perform his Galick Gun and Galaxy Breaker attacks.
