Bandai Namco has outlined upcoming content and new titles for its Dragon Ball franchise. The company released a roadmap for ‘Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero’ extending through 2027, which includes the ‘Super-Limit Breaking Neo’ DLC expansion featuring over 30 new characters—such as Super 17, Bardock Super Saiyan, Champa, and Vegeta—and a new solo mode called ‘Limit Breaker Journey’. The roadmap also notes plans for crossplay beta testing after the summer of 2027 and a spring 2027 release for Nintendo Switch and Switch 2. New gameplay mechanics like ‘Sparking! Boost’ and ‘Chain Blast’ are also planned. Additionally, Bandai Namco announced ‘Dragon Ball Xenoverse 3’, originally scheduled for a 2027 release on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Steam. Set in the ‘AGE 1000’ era, the game will feature character customization for various races, a ‘Soul Change’ transformation mechanic, and a single-player campaign lasting over 25 hours. In October 2026, Bandai Namco and developer Dimps officially rescheduled the release of ‘Dragon Ball Xenoverse 3’ to the second half of 2027. Producer Masayuki Hirano stated the delay follows community feedback and survey results, prompting the team to prioritize improvements to core mechanics, including restructuring PvE missions, character progression, and online battle infrastructure. The delay also aims to address connectivity issues and player criticism regarding the Super Saiyan transformation mechanic, which was described as being ‘time-limited rather than permanent’. Separately, Bandai Namco is marking the tenth anniversary of ‘Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2’ with a free update featuring the largest ‘Universe Festival’ event to date. On October 27, 2026, a free update will introduce login bonuses, special costumes, and an update to the Gallery of Time, though the latter requires the ‘Future Saga Chapter 4’ DLC.
