Expert missions tutorial video also posted for game arriving in N. America on October 25, in Europe on October 28

Bandai Namco Entertainment America began streaming a new gameplay video on Saturday for its Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 game for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC. The video previews Majin Vegeta gameplay.

The company additionally streamed a gameplay video for the game's expert missions on Tuesday.

Additionally, Bandai Namco Entertainment Europe began streaming a trailer for the "Depths of Despair" mission on Friday.

Bandai Namco Entertainment Europe describes the mission:

The mission Depths of Despair sees you and 5 other warriors face off against Vegeta in his Giant Ape form. He was nasty before and isn't any nicer now: throwing large chunks of the arena at you and your friends. Vegeta also has some outrageously strong combo attacks, along with his iconic Laser Mouth attack.

The game's open beta for PS4 starts on October 14. Bandai Namco Entertainment America had streamed a Tokyo Game Show trailer for the game last month.

Bandai Namco Entertainment will release the game in North America on October 25 and in Europe on October 28. The company will release the game on PC via Steam worldwide on October 28. The game will then ship for the PlayStation 4 in Japan on November 2.

The game's European release includes a collector's edition, a deluxe edition, and pre-order bonuses. The collector's edition for PS4 and Xbox One includes a 34 cm (about 13.4 inch) Son Goku figurine with exclusive coloring and a Time Patroller's Guide.

The deluxe edition for PS4 gives players early access to play as Future Trunks, and also features a season pass that will give players access to four content packs that will feature: playable characters; episodes and quests; masters and masters quests; stages; and skills, costumes, and accessories.

Those who pre-order the game will get a playable character from the Dragon Ball Super anime and the Tao Pai Pai stick to fly around Conton City. The image for the pre-order bonus features the "Goku Black" character that recently appeared in the new "Future Trunks" arc of the anime.

Players will fight to "protect the history of Dragon Ball" in the game. In the game's story, Time Patrollers go on missions to prevent history from being changed. However, there may be parts of history that they would like to change.

Dimps is developing the title after it worked on the first Xenoverse game.

The first game shipped for the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, Xbox One, and Xbox 360 consoles in Japan on February 5, 2015. The game then debuted in the United States on February 24, 2015 and in Europe on February 27, 2015. The game also debuted on PC via Steam on February 27, 2015.
