Dragon Ball Xenoverse 3, action-RPG developed by Dimps and published by Bandai Namco Entertainment, will arrive on PC, PS5 and Xbox Series in 2027. A decade after the previous chapter, the series returns with a fresh adventure set in the Dragon Ball universe. This new presentation centers on West City, the game's main gathering hub, as well as several newly introduced gameplay systems.
The trailer titled Welcome to West City unveils the game's new central hub, set in the Age 1000. Bulma and Gamma 1 welcome players there before their induction into the Great Saiyan Squad. The footage also highlights several districts of West City, the West City University, and a slate of original characters crafted for this chapter, including Brett, Lilica, ROM, and Tap. Numerous sequences showcase both aerial traversal and real-time battles that have become a hallmark of the series.
Bandai Namco has not yet released a full official synopsis for Dragon Ball Xenoverse 3. What has been shared so far suggests players will create their own avatar and journey through a new era in the Dragon Ball universe. They’ll meet familiar franchise heroes as well as several fresh characters in an original storyline.
The game sticks to the formula that built the series’ reputation: action fused with RPG-style progression. Battles unfold in real time, with aerial clashes, swift dodges, and ki-powered attacks. The race you pick directly shapes your abilities: Saiyans can unlock multiple transformations, notably Super Saiyan, while other factions boast their own unique skills.
Among the highlights announced is the new Soul Assist system, enabling players to unleash combo attacks with help from Dragon Ball characters. The game also introduces the Soul Switch mechanic, which lets you temporarily borrow the abilities of iconic fighters like Vegeta, Piccolo, Krillin, Tien, and Future Trunks to change up your battle strategy.
At this stage, Bandai Namco has confirmed a 2027 launch on PC, PS5 and Xbox Series. No exact date has been announced yet. The publisher is highlighting a bigger city, more interactions with characters, and a stronger focus on hero customization. The currently available information does not mention any special edition, pre-order bonuses, or detailed multiplayer mode.
With this latest reveal, Dragon Ball Xenoverse 3 is starting to shape its identity more clearly. Bandai Namco’s upcoming communications are expected to clarify the scope of West City, the story mode content, and the online features planned for this new entry.
