'Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2' DLC release date news: New weekend raid quests announced, sequel almost surpasses original's sales in just two weeks

Bandai Namco Entertainment has revealed two new raid quests for "Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2" players in the PAL regions to get busy with this weekend. The hub will be in serious danger, thanks to a pair of new "formidable" foes.

Cell will wreak havoc Conton City today, Nov. 5 while Great Ape Baby will do the villainy duties come Sunday, Nov. 6. Bandai Namco's announcement reads:

"Raid Quests will begin at 14.00 CET and will last for 3 hours. To be successful, you will need to beat the boss at level 99 (the Boss gains a level when he is defeated)."

Participants of these "Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2" raid quests will be awarded 10,000 Zeni. Beating the level 99 boss should reward fans with new costumes—top for today and bottom for Sunday.

"The 6 players of the team who deliver the final blow will each receive 10 TP Medals. To allow for Raid Quests, the servers have been updated this morning (explaining the short server downtime)," Bandai detailed.

In other related news, Bandai revealed in a press release that 1.4 million copies of "Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2" have been shipped since its official release last week.

This ultimately allows the sequel to beat its predecessor as it only needed half the time the original needed to ship that amount. As Forbes points out, the first "Dragon Ball Xenoverse" game shipped 1.5 million copies a month after its release.

"Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2" was just released last Oct. 26. Only around two weeks have passed but Bandai Namco already shipped around the same amount, which suggests that the sequel is on the right track.

"Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2" features more characters than the first game including "Dragon Ball Super" fan favorites Goku Black and Future Trunks, who were added last minute by developer Dimps as pre-order bonuses.
