Fans of the Dragon Ball franchise have long awaited news on a new installment in the Xenoverse series. Until recently, expectations were high but uncertain. The last game, Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2, has remained active for several years with ongoing support and new content.
On April 19, 2026, everything changed. Bandai Namco officially announced Dragon Ball Xenoverse 3. Scheduled for release in 2027, this game will be available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Steam.
The story of Dragon Ball Xenoverse 3 is set in AGE 1000. West City will serve as the main setting. Akira Toriyama contributed to the game’s design, ensuring authenticity and continuity within the beloved franchise.
The announcement trailer was four minutes long and generated significant excitement among fans. Yet, it also highlighted the transition from Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 to this new title.
In contrast, the final DLC for Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2—titled Future Saga Chapter 4—is set to release in Summer 2026. This chapter brings a dramatic close to a storyline that has captivated players.
Bandai Namco stated, “Dragon Ball Xenoverse 3 continues the series’ legacy with a completely new Dragon Ball experience…” This shift indicates a commitment to innovation while honoring past narratives.
Upcoming content for other titles also reflects this momentum. Goku (Super Saiyan 4, DAIMA) will join Dragon Ball FighterZ on April 22, 2026. This addition underscores ongoing engagement within the franchise.
Data from previous releases shows that anticipation can drive sales significantly. The last Dragon Ball Xenoverse game was released in 2016 and still maintains a loyal player base.
The landscape of gaming is evolving rapidly. Players seek fresh experiences while holding onto nostalgia for beloved titles. Details remain unconfirmed about specific gameplay mechanics or features for Dragon Ball Xenoverse 3.
The future looks promising for both new and returning fans of the series. As Bandai Namco gears up for this release, expectations are mounting across the gaming community.
