The entry was under the works with the same name, per the buzzes. After the rumor confirmation, even more users have become convinced that we may be getting a possible reveal date or anything else interesting after the long radio silence from the devs. The new trademark has been the first official update in months by Bandai Namco if you can call it that.

Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 4 has been rumored to come out in early 2024 in the past. The prominent leaker and the Youtuber Geekdom in the Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi industry has also previously elaborated that the upcoming sequel is going to release sooner than most people realize. However, little to nothing is actually known about anything else for the upcoming DBZ venture.
