Japanese magazine V-Jump has confirmed that Android 17 is set to release in the next Dragon Ball Fighterz DLC as a stand-alone fighter. Though he has been in the game previously as a support character for his twin sister, Android 18, the playable Android 17 will more closely resemble his character in Dragon Ball Super

His arsenal of attacks will include:

  • Barrier Explosion- Generates a barrier, either on the ground or in the air, followed by a forward dash.
  • End Game- Pop up behind and oppononent for an attack flurry. 
  • Super Electric Strike: Meteor Attack- Energy revolves around Android 17’s hands and, when charged, fires. 

The DLC will be released late September for $4.99 (or as part of the FighteZ season pass) and coincides with an update bringing a new Space Arena stage for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and, though not mentioned in the original article, probably PC. Switch users will have to wait for a later date.
