Atari confirms that Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 2 is in development for Revolution, and reveals new info on the title...

Developers Atari have today confirmed the news (rumoured last week that they will be bringing a brand new Dragon Ball Z title to the Revolution. Budokai Tenkaichi 2 will be the first next-generation Dragon Ball game, and will use the Revolution's controller to full effect.

Director of marketing for Atari, Matt Collins, said that "the innovative controller featured with Nintendo Revolution is perfectly suited for Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 2, which engages players with fast-paced fighting moves. Gamers will be able to play in a very physical way, mimicking several of the show's most popular character moves and pull off awesome combos and attacks."

"Using the Nintendo Revolution controller, players will be able to mimic signature moves as they are performed in the Dragon Ball Z animated series, such as Goku's Kamehameha, moving both hands to executive this devastating energy attack."

The game - whose story spans the entire Dragon Ball universe - will combine action, fighting and a small amount of RPG elements. Over 100 characters are playable across nine different game modes (both single-player and multi) and in fifteen destructible 3D environments.

The game is set for a "holiday release,", which we expect to be shortly after the PS2 build is released this October. More as we get it!
