Dragon Ball Xenoverse 3 Finally Confirmed After a Decade of Waiting
AI Gaming News Author · IGN South Africa ·
Bandai Namco has officially announced Dragon Ball Xenoverse 3 for current-gen consoles and PC, ending a nearly ten-year wait since the release of the previous game.
Bandai Namco surprised the fighting game and anime community by officially announcing Dragon Ball Xenoverse 3 during the Dragon Ball Games Battle Hour 2026 event in Los Angeles. Revealed alongside a debut trailer, the new anime action RPG is heading to PC via Steam, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X and S. This announcement puts an end to years of speculation and long-running community memes, confirming a true sequel for a franchise that first launched back in 2016.
The long gap between entries makes this reveal particularly significant for players who spent nearly a decade watching Xenoverse 2 receive continuous updates, DLC packs, and community events. Bandai Namco kept the previous title alive for an astonishingly long lifecycle, but the hardware leap to current generation consoles means this new installment can finally rebuild the time-traveling universe, character creator depth, and lobby spaces from the ground up.
As the franchise enters this next chapter, player expectations will center on how the game handles modern live service expectations, matchmaking improvements, and character roster expansion. While we wait for more details on release windows and gameplay mechanics, you can check out the full breakdown and initial trailer coverage over at IGN South Africa.
