Today’s version 1.12 update for Dragon Ball XENOVERSE 2 — currently rolling out across the game’s release on the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Switch, and PC — enables the long-promised “Photo Mode”:

Players will find a new “Photo Mode” robot in Conton City which will allow them to set up battles and pause for specific camera framing and embellishments. The photo mode is unique to this glorified menu option in the city, and is not accessible during regular matches.

Developed by Dimps for Bandai Namco, Dragon Ball XENOVERSE 2 is available worldwide for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PC (via Steam), and Switch. In North America, the game launched for consoles 25 October 2016 with a PC release following 28 October 2016. In Europe, the game launched across all platforms 28 October 2016. In Japan, the game launched on the PlayStation 4 console 02 November 2016. The Nintendo Switch port was released in Japan and internationally in September 2017.

Continuing onward from previous chapters, Viz has added their English translation of the Dragon Ball Super manga’s forty-sixth chapter to their website, moving further into the original “Galactic Patrol Prisoner arc”. Alongside other initiatives including free chapters and a larger archive for paid subscribers, this release continues Viz’s schedule of not simply simultaneously publishing the series’ chapter alongside its Japanese debut to the release date, but to its local time in Japan in today’s May 2019 issue of Shueisha’s V-Jump magazine in Japan.

The Dragon Ball Super “comicalization” began in June 2015, initially just ahead of the television series, and running both ahead and behind the series at various points. The manga runs monthly in Shueisha’s V-Jump magazine, with the series’ forty-sixth chapter coming today in the magazine’s May 2019 issue. Illustrated by “Toyotarō” (in all likelihood, a second pen-name used by Dragon Ball AF fan manga author and illustrator “Toyble”), the Dragon Ball Super manga covered the Battle of Gods re-telling, skipped the Resurrection ‘F’ re-telling, and “charged ahead” to the Champa arc, “speeding up the excitement of the TV anime even more”. Though the television series has completed its run, the manga continues onward, having recently entered its own original “Galactic Patrol Prisoner” arc. Viz is currently releasing free digital chapters of the series, and began their own collected print edition back in 2017. The fifth collected volume is due in English from Viz this coming May.

The Dragon Ball Super television series concluded in March 2018 with 131 total episodes. FUNimation owns the American distribution license for the series, with the English dub airing on Cartoon Network, and the home video release reaching its seventh box set this coming April.

Super Dragon Ball Heroes manga author Yoshitaka Nagayama announced on Twitter today the return of his previous Super Dragon Ball Heroes: Dark Demon Realm Mission! series (“part two”) in the upcoming May 2019 issue of Shueisha’s Saikyō Jump magazine.

The return of Dark Demon Realm Mission will run alongside its replacement, Super Dragon Ball Heroes: Universe Mission, which took over and began its own serialization back in the magazine’s May 2018 issue.

“Dark Demon Realm” story material has continued in the Super Dragon Ball Heroes arcade game series. Nagayama’s “Dark Demon Realm” manga content ran for ten chapters in its original serialization, and received one bonus chapter across its two compiled print releases (in April 2017 and May 2018, respectively).

A sequel/continuation from and initially a replacement for the previous Dragon Ball Heroes Super Charisma Mission! manga series, Dark Demon Realm Mission! began in the September 2016 issue of Shueisha’s Saikyō Jump magazine telling a new story set in the Super Dragon Ball Heroes world with Time Patrol Trunks, Chronoa, and more. The series’ tenth chapter was serialized in the March 2018 issue, which simultaneously marked it as the “End of Part 1” while the table of contents listed it as the “final chapter”.

Nagayama’s original Charisma Mission series debuted with a special Rookie Charisma Mission Episode 0 in the December 2013 issue of Saikyō Jump, then ran in earnest from the July 2014 to July 2016 issues. In it, Engineer Yoshito, Battle Navigator Tsubasa, and Battle Princess Momo illustrate the various features of the game in comedic ways. With the cancellation of Katsuki Hirose‘s Dragon Ball Discross Divine Power God MAX!! spin-off manga series (due to the Discross arcade game’s official discontinuation), Nagayama returned with Super Dragon Ball Heroes: Ultimate Charisma Mission!! in the March 2017 issue, which has been running alongside the standard manga fare.

The May 2019 of Shueisha’s bimonthly Saikyō Jump magazine is due out 05 April 2019. The magazine also currently serializes the Dragon Ball GT anime comic (which is set to hit the final episode’s content this upcoming issue) and Naho Ooishi’s Dragon Ball SD (currently in the Saiyan arc, having skipped over some previous material).
