Bandai Namco Confirms Dragon Ball Xenoverse 3 for 2027

Toriyama’s final character work helps launch a next‑gen shift into a new future era.

Overview

  • Bandai Namco and Dimps unveiled the sequel at Sunday’s Dragon Ball Games Battle Hour in Los Angeles with a 2027 release window on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and Steam.
  • The story moves to the far‑future Age 1000 with West City as the main location, introducing the Great Saiyan Squad, a new hero named Brett, and a redesigned older Bulma.
  • The first trailer mixes animation with brief in‑engine scenes and shows little gameplay, and outlets report the series’ create‑a‑character, co‑op, and hub structure will return.
  • Bandai Namco says Akira Toriyama designed new characters and helped shape the setting, and several reports note this is likely the last game to feature his direct contributions after his 2024 death.
  • Xenoverse 2 support winds down with a final Future Saga Chapter 4 DLC set for Summer 2026, and no Switch 2 version of Xenoverse 3 is confirmed as the team shifts focus to the new title.
