Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot’s Time Machine allows users to replay story moments that they’ve already completed. However, for some inexplicable reason, the feature didn’t allow players to use their endgame transformations if the character hadn’t canonically unlocked that form yet in the revisited chapter.
ConsideringDragon Ball Z: Kakarotdidn’t scale the player’s levels as well, this limitation made no sense from either a narrative or gameplay perspective. But it looks like CyberConnect2 has recognized that, as the game’s newly implemented Update 1.10 removes this restriction.

The update serves to pave the way for the upcomingDragon Ball SuperDLC “A New Power Awakens,“which will adapt the events ofDragon Ball’sBattle of the Godsstory arc. Here, Goku and Vegeta obtain the power to transform into Super Saiyan God.
CyberConnect2 previously released images of these forms battling against defeated villains such as Radditz and Dadoria, which confused players as to how they would work since – again – the time machine didn’t allow the use of transformations not seen in the visited story arc. But the new update confirms thatthe restriction’s removal from the Time Machinewhile also implementing several other surprises.
Here are all the Update 1.10 patch notes:
The notes officially call Goku and Vegeta’s Super Saiyan God form a “new transformation,” confirming that the two aren’t separate characters. Some fans feared this would be the case, comparing the situation toDragon Ball FighterZ’s approach to various Saiyan transformations.
A New Power Awakens releases tomorrow, so any lingering questions caused by its promotions should be answered then, like whether or not players will be able toobtain the Super Saiyan God transformation before completing the main story, and how exactly that’ll work.
Regardless, though, the new freedoms available to theTime Machineare welcomed. Considering Trunks retained all of his powers when moving backward through time, it didn’t make sense that the player didn’t. And the players level not being capped to match the revisited boss' negated the idea that transformations were overpowered.
Dragon Ball Z: Kakarotis available now for PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
