Dragon Ball Xenoverse 3' Could Be Worth The 10 Year Wait

Dragon Ball Xenoverse 3 was playable at Tokyo Game Show and could justify the long wait, according to hands-on impressions. The Xenoverse series began in 2015 with a character-creation heavy experience developed by Dimps, and Xenoverse 2 followed in 2017, expanding scope and selling over 10 million copies. Xenoverse 3, also developed by Dimps, is described as a significant improvement in how it looks and plays, with smoother, more responsive combat. The preview included co-op missions that were “frantic fun,” though the build was still a work-in-progress with rough netcode. A planned release is “sometime next year,” set in the Age 1000 setting, while Akira Toriyama’s recent passing adds a sense of tribute to the story.
