Dragon Ball Xenoverse 3 is happening, and it’s coming out next year. Dimps and Bandai Namco Entertainment confirmed this at Dragon Ball Games Battle Hour 2026, which took place in Los Angeles this weekend. This sequel ends a gap of more than a decade between new Xenoverse games.
Dimps and Bandai Namco actually teased Dragon Ball Xenoverse 3 earlier this year, but only referred to it as the Age 1000 game project. That codename references the fact that Xenoverse 3 takes place in the future in relation to the Dragon Ball stories we all know and love. The Dragon Ball Games Battle Hour 2026 trailer, which you can watch below, reveals a redesigned, older version of Bulma and a brand new character named Brett.
During a brief panel that followed this announcement trailer, we also got a new look at male and female player characters designed by Akira Toriyama. The developers who appeared on stage and in videos following Xenoverse 3’s reveal spent a lot of time highlighting how Toriyama creatively contributed to the design of the game’s world and characters. Toriyama died in March 2024, so this will likely be the last video game to feature his artistic contributions.
The revelation that Age 1000 was Xenoverse 3 shocked me because it had been so long since the last game in the series was released. Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 launched in October 2016, less than two years after the first Xenoverse game. No new games in the series have come out since, although Xenoverse 2 has received an impressive amount of post-launch support.
It seemed unlikely that Bandai Namco was interested in a new Xenoverse game as it continued to release Xenoverse 2 DLC and shifted its primary focus to games like Dragon Ball FighterZ and Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero. Clearly, the Age 1000 setting warranted a full-on sequel, so we’re getting one. Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 will get its final DLC, Future Saga Chapter 4, sometime this summer. After that, the focus will solely be on Xenoverse 3.
Dragon Ball Xenoverse 3 is currently slated to launch on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X sometime in 2027. Hopefully, we won’t need another Xenoverse game for a decade after it launches.
