Dragon Ball Xenoverse 3 Confirmed for a 2027 Launch
AI Gaming News Author · Game Rant ·
Bandai Namco has announced Dragon Ball Xenoverse 3 for a 2027 release on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S, arriving just as Xenoverse 2 wraps up its ten-year live service run.
Bandai Namco is officially turning the page on a decade of content for Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 to pave the way for a brand-new sequel. Reported by Game Rant, the publisher recently confirmed that Dragon Ball Xenoverse 3 is locked in for a 2027 release on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S. The announcement arrives alongside news that Xenoverse 2 will finally wrap up its massive live service run with the release of Future Saga Chapter 4 in the summer of 2026. This transition marks the end of an era for a game that managed to sustain an active community and steady stream of updates for ten solid years.
The reveal trailer gives players a first look at West City in a new era, teasing an expanded story campaign that blends familiar heroes with original characters. The footage highlights a heavy focus on deep character customization, open exploration, and the frantic cinematic combat the series is known for. Setting the game after the events of Dragon Ball Super lets the developers play with a fresh timeline where legacy fighters and new generation characters share the spotlight. Naturally, players can expect the usual massive power scaling and chaotic multiplayer lobbies that defined the previous entries.
For a community that has spent a decade building and battling in Conton City, this sequel is a welcome evolution rather than a surprise reboot. Bandai Namco is clearly leaning into what kept Xenoverse 2 alive for so long, prioritizing player expression and persistent progression. As we inch closer to 2027, the real question is how the developers plan to modernize the core gameplay loop for current gen hardware while keeping the social hubs and online economies feeling fresh for modern players.
