Bandai Namco Entertainment has officially announced Dragon Ball Xenoverse 3 during Dragon Ball Games Battle Hour 2026. The long-running Dragon Ball action RPG series is getting a new main entry developed by Dimps.
The announcement confirmed that the previously revealed Dragon Ball game project “AGE 1000” is actually Xenoverse 3. Bandai Namco first introduced that project in January and teased a new Dragon Ball world and original characters created by Akira Toriyama. During the reveal at Battle Hour 2026, the devs confirmed that the story takes place in AGE 1000, with West City now serving as the main hub of this new world.
Per Bandai Namco, the game will have a familiar Xenoverse structure but a new timeline and cast. Players are placed in the ranks of the Great Saiyan Squad and will fight alongside both returning and new allies as events unfold in West City.
The game will still have a player-created main character that fits into the Dragon Ball setting, along with the pre-existing franchise fan-favorites.
Xenoverse 2 has had one of the longest support runs of any modern Dragon Ball game. It launched in October 2016 and is still receiving post-launch content nearly a decade later. Bandai Namco released Future Saga Chapter 3 in October 2025, with the final chapter still yet to come out. If Xenoverse 3 gets the same treatment, Dragon Ball fans could have another full decade of constant story updates in the upcoming game.
Last year’s Dragon Ball Games Battle Hour was cancelled due to wildfires in California, so this year’s event needed to make up for such disappointment. And with the announcements like Xenoverse Future Saga Chapter 4, new Dragon Ball FighterZ DLC character, Goku (SS4, DAIMA), updates for Dragon Ball Sparking!, and Dragon Ball Super: The Galactic Patrol, it more than made up for it.
Bandai Namco Entertainment will reveal more details at a later date, as we only know that Dragon Ball Xenoverse 3 is coming in 2027 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.
