Yesterday, Bandai Namco confirmed that another 24 hours long Dragon Ball FighterZ open beta is going to be held as compensation for last week's open beta issues. The Japanese publisher has today confirmed when it will be held.

The final Dragon Ball FighterZ open beta will begin later today, January 17th, and will last for exactly for 24 hours. It's not been specified if there will be more character available or if they will be the same ones included in the previous open beta.
