The most recent Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot DLC, “Daima – Adventure Through the Demon Realm Part One,” has been formally released by Bandai Namco. The eagerly awaited expansion is set to launch on July 17, 2025, and will be available on PlayStation 4 & 5, Xbox One & Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, and PC.
This DLC offers an immersive voyage into the enigmatic and perilous Demon Realm, drawing influence from the most recent Dragon Ball anime series, Dragon Ball Daima.
Mini Goku, Big Trouble: Into the Demon Realm
In Daima Part One, players will step into the role of a miniaturized Goku, who—along with characters like Shin (Supreme Kai), Glorio, and Panzy—must explore a chaotic underworld in search of the scattered Dragon Balls.
The new setting, which takes place in the Third Demon World, has floating islands, ash-covered volcanic terrains, and odd adversaries that will test even seasoned players. With traditional flight limited in this realm, a new fast-travel system called “Sky Seed” has been introduced to ease navigation across the rugged terrain.
New Enemies, New Features, Familiar Combat
Combat remains dynamic and faithful to the core gameplay of Kakarot, with some exciting additions:
- Playable Characters: Swap between Goku, Glorio, Panzy, and Shin during battles. Each offers unique abilities and fighting styles.
- New Status Effects: Face off against enemies who can inflict burn, poison, and more.
- Items from the Anime: Use the Medi Bug (a healing item featured in Dragon Ball Daima) during intense combat moments.
- Side Quests: Discover lore through a new side-quest system titled “Demon Realm Rumors”, which unlocks hidden stories and character backgrounds.
Expect to battle demonic soldiers, castle guards, and bizarre creatures, all inspired directly from the anime.
Release Details and Special Edition
The Daima Part One DLC will be available starting July 17, and can be purchased individually or accessed via the current Season Pass.
A special physical release, known as the “Daima Edition,” will be available for PS5 and Nintendo Switch beginning July 18, 2025. This collector’s package is priced at $49.99 and includes:
- PS5 Edition: Base game + Daima Part One DLC.
- Switch Edition: Base game + Daima Part One + “A New Power Awakens” DLC.
What’s Next: A Two-Part Saga
Bandai Namco has confirmed that this DLC is the first of a two-part story arc, with Part Two expected in early 2026. While details about the second part remain under wraps, fans speculate it could bring powerful transformations and a deeper dive into the secrets of the Demon Realm.
The Daima expansion marks one of the most story-rich updates in the history of Kakarot, blending the nostalgia of Dragon Ball Z with the freshness of Dragon Ball Daima’s art and tone.
