Dragon Ball Xenoverse's launch has been postponed by one week.

Originally scheduled to debut on February 17, the fighting title is now set to launch on February 27.

The delay is necessary in order to ensure the 'highest possible gameplay experience', according to publisher Bandai Namco Games.

Dragon Ball Xenoverse promises one of the 'most ambitious' Dragon Ball game experiences, with multiple modes and an online multiplayer world.

It also features fully customisable characters, a series first that gives users a chance to play a part in rewriting the classic franchise's history.

Dragon Ball Xenoverse will be available on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and PC.
