The setting was created by the late Dragon Ball creator Akira Toriyama and features plenty of characters, both new and old, that will help tell the story of Dragon Ball Xenoverse 3.

The earlier parts of the trailer largely focus on the default preset for the player’s own avatar – J. Age the Saiyan – and the main online hub where players will be able to take on new missions and co-operate with other players to complete objectives. We then get a look at a mission in action, where players have to team up to take down Frieza Force soldiers, among other things.

We also get an in-action demonstration of how player characters can all be vastly different. While the custom-made Saiyan character is equipped with Vegeta’s moveset for their standard melee combos, the earthling character has Goku’s moves. Some of the super and ultimate attacks are then showcased. While the former can work alongside combos for serious damage, the latter are more cinematic in nature and tend to dish out massive amounts of damage.

Super attacks can also have other effects, like draining opponents’ ki to stagger them. These can be used in conjunction with light and heavy melee attacks to quickly open up numerous opponents to more devastating moves that can then end the fight.

The mission culminates with a boss fight against the Dragon Ball Super version of Broly. Since the character’s power level can be overwhelming for players, the trailer recommends that you should make use of the environment to your full advantage. This can range from throwing Broly into walls to pin him down to hiding behind large rocks to avoid some of his massive attacks.

Players can also call in a Soul Assist to aid them in battle. In the trailer, the protagonist, equipped with the default Saiyan move set, is able to call in Trunks to land some extra hits on Broly. The default Earthling moveset, on the other hand, calls in Vegeta. There is also a Potential meter, which allows players to switch to a Dragon Ball character of their choice. The trailer showcases how the player can switch to Future Trunks, giving them access to the iconic half-Saiyan’s entire moveset for a limited time.

Dragon Ball Xenoverse 3 was unveiled back in April with a trailer that showcased West City. The reveal trailer gave us a quick glimpse of some of the characters that will be showing up in the upcoming title. Just last month, another trailer was released that went into more detail about West City, as well as the game’s core story, which will give players plenty of opportunities to make choices and, in the process, potentially even change the outcome of the story.

It is being developed for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S and is slated for release in 2027.

A new trailer is out, and it’s all about the shenanigans you’re going to get up to in West City, the stage for a far-future adventure that’s bringing fresh and familiar faces to a story where you harness the finest warriors’ powers and put your own spin on it all. Of course, the new choice-based system is definitely an attraction, letting you gain unique options based on your character’s origins. That carries over to the combat, where a Saiyan can harness their Super Saiyan forms while the Earthlings have some tricks of their own up their sleeves.

However, it’s the Soul Assist system that’s caught our eye. It’s how Dragon Ball Xenoverse 3 brings back fan-favorites like Piccolo and Tien to the table. We were worried we wouldn’t see any of the old guard, considering that this one’s set far into the future, but thankfully, that’s not the case.

All in all, things are shaping up pretty well for this one in the run-up to its 2027 release on PS5, PC, and Xbox Series X/S. All that’s left is for developer Dimps to give us a release date so we can start counting the days off our calendars.

It’s set in West City, a place where the Greater Saiyans are counting on you, their newest recruit, and your allies in the program to protect the world from a currently unspecified threat. Like the titles before it, you play your own character, and this one looks like quite the departure, with a futuristic setting that includes Capsule’s own take on social media and music streaming, all of it integrated into your Scouter.

There’s also what appears to be a gear system, and, of course, faces both fresh and familiar courtesy of the legendary Akira Toriyama. We spotted Piccolo and a few unique takes on characters we know and love from the anime and manga in the announcement trailer (showcased below). From the looks of it, you get to play side by side with other Greater Saiyan recruits, complete with Saiyaman-esque uniforms.

It’s all so enticing, we wish we could summon the Dragon and have 2027 arrive sooner (though you can likely expect a steady stream of reveals until then). Dragon Ball Xenoverse 3 will be available for Xbox Series X/S, PS5, and PC
