Dragon Ball Xenoverse 3 Announced, Coming in 2027

Rumors about Dragon Ball Xenoverse 3 have been circulating for months, especially after some accidental leaks, and Bandai Namco has finally made it official. The publisher revealed Dragon Ball Xenoverse 3 with an announcement trailer, confirming the game is heading to PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Steam in 2027. As someone who enjoyed Xenoverse 2 back in the day, it’s pretty exciting to see the series finally return after nearly a decade.

The trailer shows off a clear visual upgrade over Xenoverse 2, with cleaner cel-shading and what looks like more fluid combat animations. Bulma makes an appearance with English voice acting, and there are several stand-in shots that seem to tease the return of the custom character creation the series is known for. For those unfamiliar with it, the Xenoverse series lets players create their own fighter and drop them into key moments of Dragon Ball history as a Time Patroller, with the job of fixing the timeline when villains try to rewrite it.

Xenoverse 2 originally launched back in 2016 and has somehow managed to stay relevant for nearly 10 years through consistent DLC support and a steady player base. The gap between entries is going to end up being pretty massive, which puts a lot of pressure on Xenoverse 3 to deliver on what fans have been waiting for. Bandai Namco hasn’t shared a specific release window within 2027 yet, but expect more details to roll out between now and launch.
