Bandai Namco and developer Dimps Corporation released a seven-minute gameplay overview trailer for Dragon Ball Xenoverse 3 this week [1].

The footage provides the first detailed look at the game's core loop, marking a significant return for the series after 10 years since the previous Xenoverse entry [2].

The overview trailer focuses on the game's combat systems, highlighting new skills, moves, and the Awakening mechanic [1]. Beyond the fighting, the video showcases the title's social spaces, and the core gameplay loop that defines the experience [1].

Visuals in the footage include the Age 1000s version of West City, demonstrating the environments where players will interact [3]. The trailer serves as a primary tool to generate excitement and provide an in-depth look at the mechanics before the game's official release [1].

According to some reports, the game is planned for a 2027 launch [4]. Other outlets have not specified a year, saying only that the title is coming soon [1].

Bandai Namco said the game will be available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam [1], [4]. A demo of the game is expected to be available in July [3].

“The footage provides the first detailed look at the game's core loop.”

The release of this gameplay footage signals that the project is moving into a polished phase of development. By showcasing specific mechanics like the Awakening system and social hubs, the publishers are attempting to prove the sequel evolves beyond the formula of the previous decade's entries to meet modern hardware standards on the PS5 and Xbox Series X|S.
