Bandai Namco Unveils Next Chapter for Dragon Ball Xenoverse

During the highly anticipated Dragon Ball Games Battle Hour 2026, held this week, Bandai Namco made two pivotal announcements that will shape the future of the beloved Dragon Ball Xenoverse series. Firstly, the publisher confirmed that the concluding downloadable content (DLC) for Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2, officially titled "Future Saga Chapter 4," is scheduled for release in the vibrant months of Summer 2026. This final chapter promises to bring an epic conclusion to the ongoing narrative of the game. Building on previous rumors and a notable title leak in February of this year, Bandai Namco officially unveiled Dragon Ball Xenoverse 3. This new iteration in the series is slated for a 2027 launch, with confirmed availability on major platforms including Steam, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S. As of now, details regarding a potential Nintendo platform release remain unmentioned. However, Bandai Namco has previously launched DRAGON BALL: Sparking! ZERO on the Nintendo Switch 2 and is set to bring Digimon Story Time Stranger to Nintendo's new hybrid console in July. The official reveal of Xenoverse 3 follows an earlier teaser, where it was known by the codename "Age 1000." In related news from the same event, Bandai Namco also announced the impending arrival of a new DLC character for Dragon Ball FighterZ next week and showcased the upcoming Super Limit-Breaking Neo DLC for Dragon Ball: Sparking!
