Since the announcement of Dragon Ball FighterZ at E3, there have been more than 20 fighters confirmed for this amazing looking 2D fighting game. Bandai Namco and Arc Systems Works have periodically revealed members of the roster. and With the release date rapidly approaching, it may be hard to remember who is actually confirmed to be playable in Dragon Ball FighterZ.

While the staples of the Dragon Ball universe like Goku and Vegeta are easy to remember, some of the newer characters are a little more difficult to recall. There’s also the fact that some characters only appear as assists. That means Android 17, the Ginyu Force and Chaotzu will only appear to help during certain attacks.

Currently, there are 23 confirmed characters in the Dragon Ball FighterZ roster, and here they are all in one place. This list will be updated if Bandai Namco adds new characters before the official release.
