With the Nintendo Switch 2’s release not far off in June 2025, a lot of developers and publishers are preparing their games for the new era of Nintendo. It seems Bandai Namco may be preparing its successful Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero for the platform. While it hasn’t had an official Switch 2 announcement yet, the game just received a rating on the Saudi Arabian national entertainment ratings board.

Saudi Arabia’s General Authority for Media Regulation posted a rating for Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero this last weekend, as shared by Gematsu. The game has been on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC since October 2024, but no word on Switch 2 had been announced up to this point. If the rating on the Saudi Arabian board is to be believed, that announcement is probably imminent.
