Bandai Namco has released the second trailer for DRAGON BALL XENOVERSE 3, showcasing new character creation features and the introduction of an Android race.
On September 3, 2026, Bandai Namco unveiled a second trailer for Dragon Ball Xenoverse 3, showcasing the game's character creation system and confirming the addition of a new Android race. This exciting announcement was made during PlayStation's State of Play, giving fans a glimpse into what they can expect ahead of the game's planned launch in 2027.
The trailer's title, "Fight Your Own Way," gives a nod to the extensive customization options available to players. For the first time in the series, players can choose one of six playable races: Earthling, Saiyan, Namekian, Frieza Race, Majin, and now, a brand-new Android option. The inclusion of a new race enables players to experiment with distinct combat styles and abilities that reflect a variety of characters from the Dragon Ball universe.
This character creation feature allows players not only to modify their fighter's appearance but also to inherit techniques from a roster of 130 beloved heroes. Each decision regarding the fighting style will significantly impact both the dynamics of combat and character development, emphasizing choice and strategy—elements that fans have been craving for a long time. Bandai Namco's commitment to enhancing gameplay mechanics is evidenced by these improvements, which aim to foster a deeper engagement with the game.
In Dragon Ball Xenoverse 3, players assume the role of a mysterious hero from AGE 1000, who comes from a different timeline and struggles with lost memories. This protagonist is deeply intertwined with a new generation of heroes focused on protecting peace while navigating the complexities of university life in West City. This unique narrative setup presents an opportunity to explore themes of identity and growth while remaining rooted in the familiar lore of the Dragon Ball franchise.
This installment in the Xenoverse series marks its first new release in over ten years, following the successful Xenoverse 2 from 2016. The previous title received accolades for its innovative gameplay mechanics, and Xenoverse 3 appears poised to build on this legacy. Earlier hints about the game's existence under the codename "Age 1000" heightened anticipation among fans, especially after a near-accidental revelation on Bandai's YouTube channel earlier in the year.
The confirmation of a robust character creation system and the introduction of the Android race in Dragon Ball Xenoverse 3 signal Bandai Namco's determination to expand player choice and enrich the gameplay experience within the franchise. As fans eagerly await further updates and the game’s full launch, these advancements are likely to stimulate excitement and speculation throughout the Dragon Ball community.
