As in the previous games, some skills have to be learned through masters and other non-player characters, some of whom are found exclusively in those additional areas.

Two years after the events of Dragon Ball Xenoverse, the protagonist receives a mission from Elder Kai, which involves correcting history after it has changed.

After meeting Elder Kai, they are granted their first mission, which is to correct Goku's battle with Raditz after he's been enhanced by dark magic.

During the battle, Trunks and his partner, the protagonist from the first Xenoverse game, try to capture Turles, but he escapes before the Time Patroller can stop him.

There, they are introduced to Trunks and his partner, and it is announced that TokiToki is laying an egg, which gives birth to another universe.

During the Namek Saga, the Time Patroller helps Gohan and Krillin escape from Dodoria and Zarbon.

As Future Gohan is about to leave to confront the Android twins, Trunks tries to convince him to let him accompany him this time.

The Time Patroller arrives to find Trunks has been defeated by Janemba from the Fusion Reborn timeline to prevent Vegeta's resurrection by Fortuneteller Baba to join the battle against Super Buu leading to him & Goku fusing into Vegito.

The Time Patroller chases after the Masked Saiyan and teleports to the era where Beerus and Goku are fighting.

The Supreme Kai of Time attempts to calm Beerus down by sending a box full of Pudding cups.

While Mira takes the opportunity to flee with Bardock, Beerus invites Goku, Whis, & the Time Patroller to enjoy some pudding.

However Whis stops when the Supreme Kai of Time reveals she made the pudding (it had been previously established that she is a notoriously bad cook).

The Pudding is so bad that it incapacitates Goku with stomach pain, while Beerus is simply enraged (with Whis noting the last time he was this mad he destroyed two solar systems).

Towa hacks into the Time Nest and tricks Beerus and Whis into leaving the battle, which allows Frieza to destroy the planet.

Realizing too late that the Hero's mask they brought back was a trojan horse, the group are ambushed by Towa and Mira again only to be brushed aside.

During this, Towa made her objective clear; Earlier, the Tokitoki Bird who laid an egg, which when matured, births a new Multiverse.

Seeing it as a source of power, Towa steals the recently conceived egg and plans to use it to rule the multiverse and Time.

Before she can achieve her objectives, Mira, now gaining a sense of himself, betrays his mentor and ends up absorbing both her and the egg, becoming a powerful foe capable of destroying all existence.

At the last minute, Goku comes to the aid of the Time Patroller and with the combine might of both warriors, Mira is destroyed, and the egg is recovered.

By completing certain activities within each Time Miniature rift, the protagonist can obtain various rewards and take part in special missions to unlock their race's exclusive Awoken Skill (aka transformations), in the Time Miniature rift that they investigate in the prologue.

Collecting all five unlocks the secret Unknown History Saga, which reveals what happened when Bardock trapped Mira inside the Time Rift.

After witnessing what happened with Bardock & Mira, the Conton City Hero is asked to look at a history change in Future Trunks' timeline.

Previously, the Supreme Kai of Time decided to leave in Trunks' meeting Future Gohan shortly before his death.

The game was originally teased by Bandai Namco Entertainment on May 16, 2016, as a new "Dragon Ball project", with it being announced on May 17, 2016.

[6] On March 20, 2019, a free-to-play "Lite Version" was released on PS4 and Xbox One with a subset of the full game's content and a lower level cap.

[27] IGN awarded it a score of 7.5 out of 10, saying "Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 is an ambitious, if rough-edged experience, with deceptively deep RPG and brawling elements.

"[38] Hardcore Gamer awarded it 3 out of 5, calling it "a minimal improvement over its predecessor while sharing a lot of the same issues, but there's just something so endearing about how it all came together.

[33] Ashley Fonte from Games Mojo awarded it 4.3 out of 5 stars stating that "Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 is an exciting anime game with a unique and ambitious concept that is familiar to the fans of the Dragon Ball Z series and will give them an enjoyable playing experience.

"[41] Alastair Stevensons gave a score of 3.5/5 on Trusted Reviews, and said that "Combat is fun if you know how Dragon Ball works, but newbies will struggle to get their bearings, as Xenoverse 2's tuition system is, at best, hit-and-miss".

[42] "Smoother combat and great multiplayer options make Xenoverse 2 worth a play for fans of the series" was Benjamin Shillabeer-Hall's conclusion on PlayStation Universe, with a score of 7/10.
