IT Home June 24 news, Bandai Namco Entertainment yesterday released the first gameplay trailer for "Dragon Ball: Xenoverse 3" (Dragon Ball Xenoverse 3), showcasing the game's core settings and combat system.

This title is the first mainline sequel in the Xenoverse series since the release of "Dragon Ball: Xenoverse 2" in 2016, after about a decade.

The promotional video reveals the game's world setting. The story is set in the "AGE 1000" era — according to official information, this timeline is about 216 years after the original ending of the Dragon Ball series.

The stage is set in the prosperous West City of that era. Players take on the role of a protagonist who has traveled through time and lost their memory, joining forces with companions in the "Great Saiyan Squadron" (GS Team) to unfold a brand-new chapter of the story centered around West City.

It is worth noting that the late original author of Dragon Ball, Akira Toriyama, deeply participated in the world-building and character design of this work from the concept stage. In addition to the player character and members of the GS Team, the promotional video confirms the appearances of classic characters such as Bulma and Android Gamma 1.

In terms of the combat system, the promotional video reveals a new mechanic called "Soul Switch" for the first time. After accumulating a gauge during battle, players can temporarily borrow the soul power of classic Dragon Ball fighters (noted by IT Home: such as Krillin, Piccolo, Vegeta, Future Trunks, Tien Shinhan, etc.), transforming into the corresponding character and using their unique skills to fight. This mechanic aligns with the information revealed when the project was first announced in April 2026.

Dragon Ball: Xenoverse 3 is developed by Dimps Corporation and published by Bandai Namco Entertainment. It is expected to be officially released in 2027, launching on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC (Steam) platforms. The game has already been listed on the Steam store page, supporting Simplified Chinese. The specific release date has not been announced yet.
