New Dragon Ball Game in Horizon for Fans? Pending Confirmation from Bandai Namco
As Dragon Ball Sparking Zero approaches its first anniversary, having received consistent content updates since its release, its significant success suggests Bandai Namco is likely planning further games within Akira Toriyama's iconic universe. Recent reports have sparked excitement among fans about an upcoming title, though official confirmation is still pending.
New Xenoverse Chapter for Dragon Ball? Insider Hints Delay to 2027-28 with Potential Unreal Engine 5 Boost
Beyond Sparking Zero, Bandai Namco has a history of successful Dragon Ball titles. Popular games like Kakarot and FighterZ have captivated fans, alongside Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2, which is nearing its ninth anniversary and is known for allowing players to create their own characters from various Dragon Ball races such as Saiyans and Namekians. Despite long-standing fan desire for a follow-up to 2015's Dragon Ball Xenoverse, Bandai Namco had not announced a sequel. However, a recent leak indicates that Dragon Ball Xenoverse 3 is now in development. Louis M (Cliffeur), a well-known Dragon Ball insider, claims the game has faced major delays due to the development team restarting several key components from scratch. Due to these reported delays, Louis M estimates Xenoverse 3 will not be released until 2027 or 2028. He has, however, emphasized the game's anticipated "super graphically impressive" visuals. Fans hope the title will leverage an Unreal Engine 5 boost, similar to Dragon Ball Sparking Zero, to enhance the visual impact of signature attacks like the Kamehameha. Patience will be essential, as a playable version is not expected before this timeframe.
