The ESRB rating assigned to games often serves as a significant milestone in their development cycle.
Typically, developers submit their games for review when they are nearing completion, with final touches and bug fixes being the last steps.
Hence, receiving a rating suggests that the game is nearing readiness for launch and offers fans a peek into its content.
With Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero receiving its rating, speculation arises that a 2024 release could be plausible.
