Earlier this year, Bandai Namco teased a new Dragon Ball game under the working title of Age 1,000. On the weekend, Bandai Namco officially confirmed what many were suspecting, as Age 1,000 is indeed Dragon Ball Xenoverse 3. Confirmed during the Dragon Ball Games Battle Hour 2026 weekend–which also saw the bittersweet announcement of a final DLC pack for Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2–the game is headed to PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S in 2027.
While details are still light, Bandai Namco did reveal that the game will take place in the distant future. As a member of the Great Saiyan Squad, players will explore West City and protect it from threats. Dragon Ball’s late creator, Akira Toriyama, helped shape the story and a “completely new Dragon Ball world ” for players. At this point in the timeline, Goku and the rest of the Z Warriors are (presumably) long gone, but in a world with sci-fi technology, Dragon Balls that can resurrect the dead, and day passes from the afterlife, no one truly stays dead for long–especially the poster child for the entire franchise.
The trailer for Dragon Ball Xenoverse 3 hints at a storyline that’s completely separate from the previous games, which revolved around Trunks and the Supreme Kai of Time’s efforts to protect the timelines from sinister forces. The final DLC for Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2, Future Saga Chapter 4, launches in Summer 2026 and will effectively close the chapter on that game, which first launched in 2016.
In other Dragon Ball video game news, a new challenger enters the Dragon Ball FighterZ arena this week. Fans can look forward to a new Goku joining the game’s roster, as his Super Saiyan 4 transformation from Dragon Ball: Daima is being added to the game. The other big fighting game in the franchise, Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero, is also expanding with new DLC that was previously announced in January.
The Dragon Ball GT versions of Vegeta and Trunks will join the game’s cast of playable fighters. Goku’s Dragon Ball Z: The End character is getting a new costume and Super Attack, and a new Solo Mode is also coming to the game.
