Just before the New Year, excitement surged among Dragon Ball fans as news broke from Los Angeles. On January 1, 2027, Bandai Namco announced Dragon Ball Xenoverse 3, ending a wait of over ten years since the last installment.
The upcoming game is set in a new world called AGE 1000. Players will explore West City and engage with a redesigned, older version of Bulma, alongside a new character named Brett.
Akira Toriyama, the legendary creator of Dragon Ball, contributed to the game’s design. His involvement adds a layer of authenticity that fans cherish—this may be his final artistic contribution following his passing in March 2024.
“Dragon Ball Xenoverse 3 is a completely new Dragon Ball experience, where you decide the hero you want to be in an unexplored Dragon Ball world,” said the team behind the game.
The game is described as an epic story-driven RPG experience, promising an unforgettable journey into its rich universe. “Guided into the ranks of the Great Saiyan Squad, you’ll fight alongside allies as events there begin to take shape,” they added.
With its release planned for late 2027 on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC, anticipation continues to build. The announcement marks a significant moment for a franchise that has captivated audiences for decades.
This sequel not only revives interest in the series but also bridges a decade-long gap since Xenoverse 2, which launched in October 2016. Fans are eager to see how this new chapter unfolds.
More information about Xenoverse 3 will be shared in the coming months. Details remain unconfirmed on specific gameplay mechanics and additional characters.
The return of this beloved franchise matters deeply to its community. For many players, it’s not just about gaming; it’s about reliving cherished memories and creating new ones in an expansive universe.
