Dragon Ball Z Kakarot lets you live the entire Dragon Ball Z saga as Goku, from the arrival of Raditz through to the defeat of Kid Buu. Developed by CyberConnect2 and published by Bandai Namco, Dragon Ball Z Kakarot on PS4 is an action RPG rather than a straight fighting game — you explore open areas, fish, train, eat, build relationships with the Z Fighters, and level up between the anime’s biggest battles.

Dragon Ball Z Kakarot: The Full Dragon Ball Z Story
The campaign covers the Saiyan Saga, Frieza Saga, Cell Saga, and Majin Buu Saga in sequence, letting you play through the events fans have watched for decades. Beyond Goku, you take control of Gohan, Vegeta, Piccolo, and others as the story shifts perspective, which keeps the pacing varied across a very long campaign.
An RPG, Not Just a Fighter
Between story battles you are free to fly around large open areas, hunt for Dragon Balls, fish, hunt, cook meals that grant permanent stat boosts, and complete side quests with familiar characters. A Community Board system lets you place characters into linked boards for passive bonuses, adding a genuine progression layer that most Dragon Ball games skip entirely.
Combat and Transformations
Fights are fast, aerial, and cinematic, with ki blasts, melee chains, and signature moves like the Kamehameha mapped to a straightforward control scheme. Transformations — Super Saiyan through to the higher forms — unlock as the story progresses, and DLC expansions added Super Saiyan God, Super Saiyan Blue, Beerus, Whis, and Golden Frieza to the roster.
Faithful to Toriyama’s Art
CyberConnect2 built the game on Unreal Engine 4 with a cel-shaded art style specifically developed to match Akira Toriyama’s original look, experimenting with watercolour and gradient techniques before settling on the final anime-accurate direction. The result is a game that genuinely looks like the show in motion.

Who Kakarot Is For
If you grew up with the anime, Kakarot is built specifically to trigger that memory — major fights are recreated shot for shot, and the quiet moments between sagas give characters room the show often rushed past. If you have never watched Dragon Ball Z, it works as a complete introduction to the story, though the sheer volume of characters and callbacks lands harder for existing fans. Newcomers looking purely for competitive fighting should look at Dragon Ball FighterZ instead.
CyberConnect2 detailed its cel-shading approach in an Unreal Engine developer interview.
