Dragon Ball Xenoverse 3 will release in 2027. In a joint interview published on October 22 alongside a hands-on demo event, the development team explained why the game is set in the future era AGE 1000. Producer Masayuki Hirano said the team felt it had done all it could with the experience of entering the original Dragon Ball world and fighting there.

The game keeps training and fighting alongside existing characters. Combat situations expand beyond one-on-one to one-versus-many, many-versus-many, and battles with special rules. The protagonist belongs to a team called the GS (Great Saiyaman) Squad. Co-op is built around four-player missions, and the retail version includes fights against large bosses.
