The effect appears to display the user of the move. Dragon Ball Xenoverse 3 is set in AGE 1000, a future era of the Dragon Ball world that the sources describe as unseen, populated by characters Akira Toriyama designed. Players create their own character and shape the story within that setting. The game is scheduled for release in 2027 on PC via Steam, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S. Both outlets that covered the trailer, Game Spark and Inside, reported the same details about the setting, the developer, and the release window.","whyItMatters":"The trailer confirms Dimps is still the developer and that Bandai Namco is targeting the same multi-platform release across PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S, which gives returning players a concrete sense of where the sequel sits relative to the previous entries.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eDimps developed both prior Xenoverse entries, and the new trailer keeps the studio in place for the sequel.
