Key Takeaways

  • Bandai Namco issued a message to a streamer named Edgar asking them to stop streaming Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero.
  • Some players received Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero early and so spoilers have been leaking online.

As a veteran gamer with decades of experience under my belt, I must say that the recent turn of events surrounding the early streaming of Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero has left me both amused and a tad frustrated. On one hand, it’s always exciting to be among the first to explore new games, especially ones as highly anticipated as this one. However, on the other hand, I understand Bandai Namco’s perspective – they want to preserve the surprise and excitement for everyone, not just a select few.

During a live stream of “Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero,” popular gamer Edgar receives a message from Bandai Namco. The Dragon Ball community is buzzing with anticipation for this game, as it’s the highly-anticipated fourth installment in the Budokai Tenkaichi series. While the global release of “Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero” is scheduled for October 11, those who opt for the Deluxe or Ultimate Editions will get early access to the game three days before the official launch date. However, some gamers are fortunate enough to start playing it even earlier than that.

Some enthusiastic gamers have shared online that they received their copies of Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero ahead of schedule, with social media posts showcasing the Collector’s Edition of the game. These lucky individuals even beat those who ordered the Deluxe and Ultimate versions to gain early access. Among these early birds, a notable streamer not only secured early access but also live-streamed the entire gameplay experience, which piqued the interest of publisher Bandai Namco.

The streamer who leaked the game went by “Edgar,” though their account has already been terminated. Some fans first caught wind of this leaker’s stream via Twitter account SLOplays, who warned fans about potential spoilers for Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero. The official Bandai Namco Twitter account responded to the tweet with a knowing eyes emote. Soon enough, any streamers leaking Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero got a message from Bandai Namco’s official YouTube and Twitch accounts in their chat, simply telling them to stop streaming, with one message directly calling out the streamer, reading “Edgar my guy stop doing this.”

Early Sparking Zero Streamers are getting Messages From Bandai Namco to Stop

Edgar’s Twitch channel initially had game videos available, but they were later removed. However, the “Recent Games” section on Twitch indicates that only Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero was played recently. This has led some fans to question whether Bandai Namco is removing earlier streams. Some individuals have shared alternative views of these deleted videos. Additionally, Bandai Namco’s US brand manager, Ryan Wagner, joined the conversation by tweeting “Hello ‘NotEdgar123_’,” along with a clip showing Cooler from Dragon Ball Z defeating Goku in his movie.

The initial leaks from “Sparking Zero” supposedly didn’t reveal much before they were removed. Although the single-player campaign features many familiar characters and rehashes a story that fans have experienced numerous times, the real excitement comes from the extensive “What If” scenarios in Sparking Zero. It seems that Edgar might be streaming under different names, and other leaked videos are also circulating, so fans should approach playing Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero cautiously if they want to avoid spoilers.
