It’s Over 9000: “Dragon Ball Xenoverse 3” Announced, and It’s Gonna Be a Blast from the Past!

Stop the presses, folks! Bandai Namco just dropped a bombshell at the annual Dragon Ball Games Battle Hour event in LA. That’s right, after a decade-long wait, “Dragon Ball Xenoverse 3” is officially happening. And it’s got the bittersweet cherry on top—the designs are by none other than the legendary Akira Toriyama. Rest in peace, sensei.

A Sequel a Decade in the Making

If you’ve been holding your breath since the last game hit shelves in 2016, you can finally exhale. Developed by Dimps and set to grace our beloved PS5, Xbox Series, and PC in 2027, this installment promises to be more than just another trip down memory lane. It’s Toriyama’s final curtain call in direct contributions to the series after his passing in 2024. Prepare for all the feels when you boot this one up.

The Final Countdown for Xenoverse 2

In a move that screams “we’re not done yet,” Bandai Namco also announced the climactic “Future Sage: Chapter 4” for Xenoverse 2. This final chapter will drop in the summer, wrapping up what has been a wild ride since its release. It’s like they’re saying goodbye to an old friend while ushering in a new era.

Goku Gets a New Gig

But wait, there’s more! As if this lineup needed any additional hype juice, Goku is set to join the Dragon Ball FighterZ roster through the DAIMA DLC launching on April 22. Yep, that’s just two days away. Whether you’re ready or not, Goku’s about to come crashing into your living room with his signature Kamehameha.

An Ode to Toriyama

With “Dragon Ball Xenoverse 3,” we get one last chance to witness his imagination come alive in new ways before it transitions into history.

The Fanboy (and Fangirl) Speculation
