Dragon Ball FighterZ ver. 1.32 balance patch to be released tomorrow, rollback netcode beta test delayed
It's been announced that Dragon Ball FighterZ patch 1.32 will be releasing tomorrow. However, it has also been noted that the rollback netcode beta test for Dragon Ball FighterZ is being delayed.
According to the Dragon Ball FighterZ developers, the adjustments being made in tomorrow's patch are based on how things have developed since the last balance patch back in June 2022. Additionally, the team has confirmed that they're listening to the voices that have spoken up regarding the balance of Dragon Ball FighterZ since that last patch.
Unfortunately, no patch notes have been released at this time. However, we should probably expect patch notes to drop either tonight or sometime tomorrow.
Notably, the developers have also announced that another balance patch is being planned. The developers will be paying attention to how the latest set of changes will affect the meta for Dragon Ball FighterZ with the patch that's launching tomorrow.
Of course, it is unfortunate news to hear that the rollback netcode beta test is being delayed considering that Evo 2023 will be taking place in August. This means that some players may not have the optimal environment in which they can practice for the big event.
Finally, it's noted that Evo 2023 will mark the start of the 2023-2024 World Tour for Dragon Ball FighterZ. Check out the developers' full statement below:

From The Dragon Ball FighterZ Team
Today, we would like to announce that the Balance Adjustment patch which was announced in March, patch [ver. 1.32] will be released sequentially from May 23rd (UTC). Please note that distribution timings will differ between platforms.The adjustments will be made based on the playability of the game after the overall balance adjustments made last June, as well as on the voices we have been hearing from the community. We hope that you will take this opportunity to experience both the characters you are familiar with, and those you have not used much in the past.
We would also like to mention that we are planning a second round of balance adjustments based on the results of this round. Details will be announced in the near future, so we hope players will look forward to further information.
In regards to the Rollback Netcode implementation, we made an announcement earlier this year that a Beta Test will be carried out on Steam around Spring. However, to further improve and stabilize the experience of the feature, we have decided to postpone the timing of the test.
We apologize for the delay, but the team here is committed to delivering the feature in its best shape, so we hope that players would wait a little longer for further updates regarding timings of the beta test.
Finally, we would like to officially annouce nteh the 2023-204 World Tour will be beginning from this year's Evo! As in the previous season, we are planning to hold a tournament format that will support community organized tournaments. Details will be announced soon, so please join us in this exciting competition!
The entire Dragon Ball FighterZ Team is committed to making the game more enjoyable for everyone. Thank you again for your continued support.
