According to the website, 3 new playable characters, i.e., Orange Piccolo, Piccolo (Power Awakening) & Gohan Beast will be added in the highly anticipated Hero of Justice DLC Pack 2, which is set to release tomorrow on May 11, 2023.

“A new playable Gohan character is joining Xenoverse 2! This is Gohan’s new, breathtaking transformation that he awakened during the all-out battle with Cell Max in Dragon Ball Super: SUPER HERO.
Gohan (Beast) possesses high attack power and speed that enables him to overwhelm any foe unfortunate enough to get in his way! He has tons of devastating close-range techniques along with some other attacks that will let him ambush enemies from a distance!
