Dragon Ball Xenoverse 3 Announced for 2027: AGE 1000 Revealed
Bandai Namco and Dimps have officially announced Dragon Ball Xenoverse 3 for a 2027 release on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC Steam. The game, previously teased as Project AGE 1000, brings players to a brand-new future timeline with original characters designed by Akira Toriyama.
This is the part nobody's talking about enough: Xenoverse 3 finally moves beyond repeating old Z arcs. It drops you into AGE 1000, a fresh era with West City as a lively hub and the Great Saiyan Squad at the center of the story.
AGE 1000: A Brand New Dragon Ball World
Unlike past entries, Dragon Ball Xenoverse 3 features an original story set far in the future. West City serves as a bustling central location full of activity, NPCs, and story developments. Players create their own hero and join the Great Saiyan Squad for team-based missions and progression.
The Xenoverse 3 trailer already shows a more detailed, lived-in world with nods to classic moments reimagined for this new timeline.

Toriyama's Final Touch and New Characters
Akira Toriyama contributed key original character designs for AGE 1000. Fans are already speculating about an older Bulma with a unique halo design and new faces like the one quickly nicknamed "Brett".
Returning characters will focus on those who don't age much, keeping the lore clean in this distant future setting.
