Bandai Namco has narrowed the release window for Dragon Ball Xenoverse 3 to the second half of 2027, cutting the previous 12-month target in half. Producer Masayuki Hirano confirmed the change comes directly from player feedback and survey results gathered over recent months. The multiplayer-enabled brawler will focus on battle customization and PvE missions as core pillars.
Dragon Ball Xenoverse 3's first major gameplay trailer showcases its open-world hub, enhanced combat, and new features like Soul Assist and Soul Switch. However, the limited-time Awakening mode, which includes Super Saiyan transformations, has ignited fan backlash. The game is set to launch in 2027 for PlayStation 5, Windows PC, and Xbox Series X.
Dragon Ball Xenoverse 3, set 250 years after its predecessor in the Age 1000 universe, promises a familiar yet exciting experience with its Summer Game Fest demo showcasing new features like Soul Assists and Soul Switch. While it plays safe with its formula, the game's aerial combat and customization options look to enhance the player experience. With a 2027 release on PS5, Windows PC, and Xbox Series X, fans can look forward to more of what they love, albeit with minimal surprises.
