Game publisher Bandai Namco Entertainment revealed on Facebook that GameStop PowerUp Rewards members who pre-order the game will, first and foremost, score an Exclusive Goku Keychain.

No other retailer offers that bonus so for those who are keen on getting their hands on the keychain, pre-ordering "Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2" from GameStop is the best way to go.

As far as in-game freebies are concerned, "Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2" pre-order bonuses from GameStop include a Tao Pai Pai Stick Vehicle and Black Goku from "Dragon Ball Super."

These bonuses are offered by a majority of retailers. The former will be of great help in travelling the sprawling city of Conton. As for the latter, he is the anime's newest villain. Black Goku is one of the most intimidating villains yet.

For those who haven't been following "Dragon Ball Super," Goku Black is basically an evil version of Goku. His identity remains a secret, and no one knows how he came to share a likeness with Goku. The character is considered the strongest in the "Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2" roster, the same as how he is portrayed in the ongoing Future Trunks arc in the anime.

Speaking of Future Trunks, the Deluxe Edition of "Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2" should give fans early access to the character, along with the season pass. According to Attack of the Fanboy, Future Trunks and Goku Black's additions to "Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2" were made at the eleventh-hour due to the demand of fans.

"Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2" will be released on Oct. 25 in North America and Oct. 28 in Europe for the personal computer (PC), Xbox One, and PlayStation 4.
