Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot has been rumored to be receiving more DLC since at least early this year, and it was recently confirmed that Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot is indeed getting a second Season Pass. Many would be forgiven for doubting the rumors, as everyone should do with all rumors anyway, because it's odd to know the game is getting DLC three years or so after launch.
Dragon Ball Z: Kakarotwas not perfect, no game is, but it was well-received. The action RPG approach to the DBZ formula did a lot to relive the story but make it more engaging for those who have seen/played through it multiple times. However, its first Season Pass was a huge point of contention for fans of the franchise and the second Season Pass has to learn and grow from it, or risk struggling even more to retain its fan base.
