Dragon Ball Xenoverse 3 Drops New Gameplay, Locks In a Distant 2027 Release

Dragon Ball Xenoverse 3 just dropped its second gameplay video, showcasing fresh combat mechanics and an expanded world. But the biggest reveal? Fans won't get their hands on the game until 2027. That's a significant wait for a title already deep enough into development for multiple gameplay deep dives.

The new footage follows a rookie member of the Great Saiya Squad, giving us a clearer look at the series' signature high-speed action. Combat still centers on intense Ki management. Players will strategize with combos and Ki Drain attacks to force enemies into a vulnerable Ki Break state, setting them up for devastating Break Smash finishers. Super and Ultimate Attacks return with cinematic flair, letting players channel the power of legendary fighters like Goku and Vegeta.

Two standout systems truly caught our eye. Soul Assist allows players to summon a Dragon Ball ally for a signature attack. Even more intriguing is Soul Switch, which temporarily transforms your custom character into an iconic fighter, channeling their power and appearance. Imagine becoming Krillin or Vegeta mid-battle for a burst of new abilities.
