Bandai Namco Officially Reveals What's Next For The Dragon Ball Xenoverse Series

Including DLC and a brand new game

by Liam Doolan 1 hour ago

At Dragon Ball Games Battle Hour 2026 this week, Bandai Namco shared two announcements tied to the future of its Dragon Ball Xenoverse series.

Firstly, "the last DLC" for Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 - officially titled Future Saga Chapter 4 - will launch in Summer 2026.

And after rumours and even a title leak in February, Bandai Namco has officially confirmed Dragon Ball Xenoverse 3. It will launch in 2027 and is currently confirmed for Steam, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S.

There's no mention of a Nintendo release (at least right now), but Bandai Namco has already released DRAGON BALL: Sparking! ZERO on the Switch 2, and Digimon Story Time Stranger is coming to Nintendo's new hybrid platform in July.

Xenoverse 3's official reveal follows a teaser of the new game earlier this year, when it was known as "Age 1000".

At the same Dragon Ball Games Battle Hour event this week, Bandai Namco revealed the new DLC character for Dragon Ball FighterZ will be arriving next week. It also gave Dragon Ball: Sparking! ZERO players a look at the upcoming Super Limit-Breaking Neo DLC.

What do you think of these Dragon Ball Xenoverse announcements? Would you be interested in playing Xenoverse 3 on Nintendo's platform? Will you be checking out the last update for Xenoverse 2? Let us know in the comments.

Late ports seem to be Namco's playbook for Switch 2, so far.

If a Switch 2 port does happen, hopefully its better optimized than Sparking Zero was.

Not until PC and other consoles have milked it dry and then, in 2029, it can launch on Switch 2 for full price and none of it's DLC, which will inevitably come too, will be included.

Unless Xeno is followed by gears, blade, or saga, I'm probably not interested. But good news for those that care!

Bandai Namco is on a generational streak of piss-poor Nintendo support, they are the absolute GOATs of it. Almost full year into Switch 2 and they barely released anything of note for it.

I'm not interested in their "wait 1-3 years later for reheated leftovers at full price" shenanigans from Switch 1 era anymore, i'd rather give my money to 3rd parties that actually support Nintendo properly Day 1 like Capcom, Square and Falcom.

Bandai Namco's support for Switch 2 has been extremely lackluster, with minimal improvement from their Switch 1 support.

Elden Ring on Switch 2 was delayed without a release date, but preorders are now open, but there is only the $80 Tarnished Edition SKU (with no $60 SKU for the base game only)
Dragon Ball Sparking Zero was a late port, and its DLC still hasnt launched on Switch 1/2
Digimon Time Stranger will launch was a late port on Switch 1/2, even though several prior Digimon games launched Day 1 on Switch 1
Dragon Ball Xenoverse will now skip the Switch 2 at launch, much like every Dragon Ball game on Switch 1.

Other Japanese 3rd party publishers like Capcom and Square Enix have fully embraced the Switch 2 with far more technically/visually demanding games - there really isnt any reason why Bandai Namco's games should be skipping Switch 2 for Day 1 launches. Late ports are better than nothing, but they sell way less than brand new titles and indicate lack of serious commitment to the platform.
