The Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot next-gen update boasts improved visuals and 60 frames per second, which means it will look and perform better than its counterpart on older consoles. Unfortunately, Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot earned somewhat mixed reviews at the time of its release, but perhaps the next-gen update dropping on January 13 will paint it in a better light. Like Naruto: Rise of a Ninja and Naruto: The Broken Bond, Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot drummed up interest for being an action-adventure game instead of yet another fighting game release. One Piece Odyssey Could Be the Best One Piece Game YetĪs far as anime games go, Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot is definitely one of the more popular ones in recent years. There haven't been many anime video games released since then that have really captured the spirit of Naruto: Rise of a Ninja and Naruto: The Broken Bond, but a pair of titles have a chance to do so come January 13 in the form of One Piece Odyssey and the next-gen update for Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot.

Some of these anime fighting games are quite good, but it's always refreshing when an anime adaptation tackles a different genre instead. More recent examples include the fighting games based on Demon Slayer, My Hero Academia, and One Punch Man.

Shonen anime often finds itself adapted into fighting games, with countless fighting games based on Dragon Ball, Naruto, and more released over the years. However, it seems most anime video games tend to be fighting games, which can get repetitive, to say the least. Video game adaptations of popular anime franchises have been happening for decades now, but just as video games have become bigger than ever before, so too has the scope of these games increased. January 13 is set to be an especially big day for fans of anime video games, as that's the day One Piece Odyssey and the next-gen update for Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot hit the scene.
