Dragon Ball Legends 8th Anniversary Event Guide: New Characters, Summons, and Campaigns

Promotional spotlights released for the event confirmed these characters arriving with anniversary summons beginning May 23, 2026, with their featured banners scheduled to run through July 22, 2026 (UTC).

Free 100‑Pull Anniversary Summon

One of the biggest rewards for players during the event is the “Celebrate 8 Years! 4 LEGENDS LIMITED Guaranteed! 100x Summon.”

Key details:

• Available May 23, 2026 – July 29, 2026.
• Includes 100 total summons.
• Guarantees four LEGENDS LIMITED characters within the summon set.

Large free summons have become a recurring feature of major Legends anniversaries, and this campaign continues that tradition with one of the biggest guaranteed pull pools of the year.

Pre‑Anniversary Countdown Events

Before the main celebration began, several countdown events built anticipation and rewarded early participants.

8th Anniversary Countdown Battle

Running May 7 – May 23, 2026, this event unlocked stages daily and rewarded players with Countdown Medals for first‑time clears. These medals could then be exchanged for items in a dedicated shop.

Level‑Up Choice Battle

Another pre‑anniversary event during the same period allowed players to choose battles that rewarded specific items. Clearing stages increased their level, which boosted the rewards available from them.

These countdown campaigns served as a buildup to the anniversary launch and helped players stockpile resources before the new banners arrived.

Anniversary Livestream and Community Reveal

Just before the event began, the developers aired a special program titled “LEGENDS INFORMATION Special Edition Celebrating the 8th Anniversary – Vol. 1.” The broadcast premiered May 22, 2026 at 23:00 JST and previewed upcoming characters and event content.

The show also included a special recorded musical performance, part of the anniversary’s promotional buildup and community celebration.

What Defines the 8th Anniversary

The 8th anniversary campaign centers on three pillars:

• Major new fighters, especially characters inspired by Dragon Ball Super: Broly.
• Large‑scale reward campaigns, highlighted by the free 100‑pull summon.
• Multiple limited‑time events and countdown activities leading into the main celebration.

Together, these elements form one of the largest yearly updates for Dragon Ball Legends, combining new playable characters, large summon campaigns, and event‑driven rewards across the summer anniversary window.
