Bandai Namco Entertainment Europe is bringing a new action RPG for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X and PC with “Dragon Ball Xenoverse 3”, ten years after its predecessor.
The video demonstrates the significant innovations of the anime sequel directly within the gameplay. The setting is the Age 1000 era, with West City University as its central hub.
Players create their own heroes in this world conceived by Akira Toriyama. The fast-paced battles rely on vertical movement and massive Ki attacks. The gameplay trailer reveals the new Soul Assist system for devastating partner attacks.
Tactical depth is provided by the Soul Switch mechanic. It allows temporary access to the soul powers of legendary warriors like Vegeta or Piccolo. The chosen species fundamentally alters the fighting style. Saiyans transform gradually, while Earthlings counter differently.
I'm sticking with FightersZ; it's THE Dragon Ball game for me. Hopefully, ARC Systems or Namco themselves will release some fighters like Beast Gohan, Tappo, and Vegeta's God of Destruction transformations as DLC, or maybe even a sequel with real transformations. ^^
