'Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2' news, update: Hit will be a playable character in the game

A lot of "Dragon Ball" fans are eager for the release of "Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2" this October, and the character Hit from the anime is said to be included in the game.

Reports are saying that the developers have just confirmed the inclusion of the famous assassin from "Dragon Ball Super," and they did so by releasing a short trailer showcasing a fight between Super Saiyan Blue Goku and Hit.

Hit was a legendary assassin in Universe 6 with the nickname "Hit the Infallible." He's over a thousand years old and he is considered to be the strongest member of Team Universe 6.

Hit's inclusion in the roster is sure to beef up the playable villains in the game. Just recently, it was also announced that Goku Black will be a playable character in "Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2." Gamers will also get to use Frieza, easily one of the most iconic villains in "Dragon Ball" lore ever since he made his debut back in "Dragon Ball Z."

Fans are reportedly still holding out for other big name characters to be released in the game like Cooler, Lord Slug and Janemba, but so far there have been no confirmations online.

Going back to Goku Black, only players who pre-order the game will be able to use him as a playable character. He's considered to be the main villain in "Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2," and if players want to use him, they will have to cash out for the game in advance.

Pre-ordering customers will also be able to use Future Trunks in the game, and they will also get their hands on season passes that will get them exclusive content packs.

"Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2" hits shelves on Oct. 25 in the U.S. and Oct. 28 in Europe.
