Bandai Namco has announced Dragon Ball Xenoverse 3 for PC via Steam, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X | S.
The announcement arrived alongside the Dragon Ball Games Battle Hour 2026 event in Los Angeles today and comes with a first official trailer for the anime action-RPG follow-up. It’s news that came as a shock to fans and arrived as official confirmation that a follow-up is finally on the way after Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 launched in 2016, almost 10 years ago.
Doubling the surprise is the fact that Dragon Ball Xenoverse 3 was technically already revealed by Bandai Namco earlier this year as what was previously called Age 1000. That title now serves as the name of the new world in which the game is set, with the trailer showing off some of what it has to offer.
“As revealed in the announcement trailer for DRAGON BALL XENOVERSE 3, players will get to explore and uncover exciting new stories in West City, the vibrant new world set in AGE 1000,” an official description said. “Guided into the ranks of the Great Saiyan Squad, you’ll fight alongside allies as events there begin to take shape.
“The game combines an epic story-driven RPG experience that will take DRAGON BALL fans on an unforgettable, action-packed journey into this new universe and its cast of characters.”
Bandai Namco says there will be more to share about Dragon Ball Xenoverse 3 “in the months to come.” While we wait to see how it will expand on the work of the late Akira Toriyama, you can check out our 7.5/10 review of Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2. At the time, we called it “an ambitious, if rough-edged experience, with deceptively deep RPG and brawling elements.”
