Here are some more details, via Bandai Namco:

Community Board

  • When completing quests for certain characters, or passing distinct points in the storyline, you will earn Soul Emblems (each representing a character from the Dragon Ball universe).
  • After assigning these Soul Emblems on your Community Board – you’ll be able to activate them in combination with each other, to earn special bonuses and power-ups.
  • Combining different characters with each other also unlocks exclusive dialogue between those characters.

Training Grounds

  • Training Grounds are found across different areas, and enable you to fight against Z Warriors or enemies you’ve fought in the past—or against yourself.
  • By clearing the training you will learn new Super Attacks, or power up existing Super Attacks (such as turning your regular Kamehameha into Super Kamehameha).

Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot is due out worldwide for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC on January 17, 2020. In Japan, it will launch for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One on January 16.
