Dragon Ball FighterZ's new update feels like it was made for rollback netcode... except we still don't have rollback
Just a year ago, everyone thought Dragon Ball FighterZ was basically done receiving any type of support after the release of Lab Coat Android 21 and a subsequent balance patch, but there's still a bit more on the way even 5+ years after it first released.
Bandai Namco and Arc System Works announced simultaneously this week that DBFZ would be receiving a new update but also its promised rollback netcode beta is delayed, and now that the balance patch is here... it really feels like it was made under the expectation that we'd have rollback by now.

The 2021 live action Mortal Kombat film was... okay. It didn't quite have the charm of the 1995 film, but it did offer some fun fight sequences with modern CGI, featured a fairly badass showdown between Scorpion and Sub-Zero, and Kano was cool.
Whatever your feelings, it wound up being successful enough to spawn a sequel (though we haven't a release date for it yet). What we do have are the names of a few of the actors slated to play a few of the characters who'll appear in the film, namely Kitana, Jade, and Johnny Cage.
