Back in February during a Dragon Ball anniversary event teaser, a new untitled game was teased. Now months later, that game has been officially named as Dragon Ball Xenoverse 3, serving as a new chapter in the time-traveling videogame series.

Fans already anticipated this untitled project being Xenoverse 3 due to the initial teaser itself, which Bandai Namco had mistakenly put into a Dragon Ball Xenoverse playlist on YouTube before this week's reveal. Alongside the announcement, a new full-length trailer has also been released:

Unfortunately, this trailer is going to be our best look at Xenoverse 3 for a while, as the game is not scheduled to release until 2027.

To help fans with the wait, Bandai Namco is releasing one final DLC set for Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 later this summer.

KitGuru Says: Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 turned out to be hugely popular. It will be interesting to see if the third game can reach the same heights.

During a Dragon Ball anniversary event last night, a new, untitled game was teased. Now just weeks later, it appears a YouTube playlist update has revealed this game to be Dragon Ball Xenoverse 3. 

The Dragon Ball ‘Age 1000' game announcement teaser was accidentally put into a public playlist on YouTube by the Bandai Namco YouTube channel. The playlist revealed the teaser as an initial announcement for Dragon Ball Xenoverse 3. Considering the game's codename and the Xenoverse' series' reliance on time travel, more than a few fans likely anticipated this anyway.

The Dragon Ball Xenoverse games have largely taken the spotlight on from previous 3D fighting games like the Budokai Tenkaichi series. In the Dragon Ball Xenoverse games, fans get to relive a mix of classic story fights, brand-new content and what-if scenarios. It has a massive character roster that has only grown through years of DLC support. However, with Xenoverse 2 having been around for almost 10 years now, this year would be a good time for a fresh new game in the series.

We will no doubt be getting more news on Dragon Ball Xenoverse 3 in the coming months considering Bandai Namco is already preparing its back end for new trailers.
