The Dragon Ball anime series has consistently thrived in the world of video games. For years, fans have enjoyed playing as Goku and the Z Fighters on consoles and, more recently, on mobile devices. Now, a popular Dragon Ball game is unexpectedly shutting down some of its key features, which could effectively end the game. Currently, these changes are only happening in Brazil, but there are concerns this could spread to other regions and potentially impact not only anime-based mobile games, but the wider mobile gaming market.
In Brazil, three popular Dragon Ball mobile games – Dragon Ball Legends, Dragon Ball Dokkan Battle, and Dragon Ball Gekishin Squadra – have removed all in-app purchases. Players can still enjoy the games, but won’t be able to buy anything from the in-game stores anymore. This change is likely due to a new Brazilian law, called “Lei Felca,” which went into effect last month. This law aims to eliminate potentially addictive game features like loot boxes and gem systems. Bandai Namco has confirmed the removal of in-game shops, and while the games remain playable outside of Brazil, this could be the first of many similar laws passed by governments worldwide as they adapt to the digital world.
Bandai Namco’s Statement
The team behind Dragon Ball Legends announced some changes for players in Brazil due to new legal requirements. Starting today, players in Brazil will no longer be able to buy in-game items like Chrono Crystals or subscribe to the Legend Pass. If you already have a Legend Pass, it will remain active until it expires, but automatic renewals will continue, so please remember to cancel your subscription if you don’t want to be charged. The team understands this impacts gameplay, but they’re making these changes to ensure Brazilian players can continue enjoying Dragon Ball Legends.
A key reason people enjoy Dragon Ball Legends isn’t just its collectible character system – which features familiar faces from the Dragon Ball series – but also the introduction of Shallot, an original character. Players usually control Shallot in the game’s story, where he revisits past Dragon Ball battles and alters events in unique ways. As of now, Bandai Namco hasn’t announced if recent changes happening in Brazil will affect the game globally. Given the franchise’s plans for more anime-based games, it will be interesting to see if the Dragon Ball games in Brazil continue to be supported.
