A trailer that sets the stage
The trailer shown during the event immediately pulls us into the atmosphere. The player climbs a hill, on a quest to gather the Dragon Balls. As soon as the iconic four-star ball is placed with the others, the spheres begin to glow and unleash a golden light. Suddenly, Shenron appears, ready to grant a wish.
Get ready for the Dragon Ball Z DLC! Coming soon…

In a flash, the player gains golden hair worthy of a Super Saiyan. Overjoyed, he transforms into Son Goku. The sequence becomes even more spectacular as Vegeta, Krillin, Piccolo, and Gohan join in—just before a Kamehameha seals this explosive showcase.
A bonus already available
While waiting for the official DLC release, Mojang Studios is giving players a unique customization item: the iconic Super Saiyan hairstyle. This bonus is available right now on the Minecraft Marketplace, but don’t wait too long—you’ll need to claim it before November 4, 2025.
A tradition of high-profile crossovers
This announcement is part of the premium collaborations strategy that Mojang Studios has been developing for several years. Minecraft has already welcomed numerous iconic franchises:
- Animation heroes: SpongeBob SquarePants, Sonic, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Hello Kitty
- Gaming worlds: Terraria and many more
- Fashion brands: Burberry, Lacoste, AAPE
But this time, the partnership promises to go even further. The Dragon Ball universe brings an epic dimension and narrative depth that could truly redefine the traditional Minecraft experience.
This announcement comes just days after the release of the latest DLC for Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero, proving once again the incredible vitality of Akira Toriyama’s franchise. Backed by a legendary legacy and cross-generational popularity, it now enters the blocky world of Minecraft, offering fans a brand-new way to relive the intensity of the battles and the mythical energy of the Saiyans.
