Recent years have seen\u00a0the release of some of the best games in the\u00a0Dragon Ball<\/em> franchise to date, with\u00a0Dragon Ball Xenoverse<\/em><\/strong> and\u00a0FighterZ<\/em> coming out as some of the strongest contenders in the series. However, while the\u00a0Xenoverse<\/em> series had a strong opening, with two games releasing over two years, some fans have found it strange that Bandai Namco never moved forward with a\u00a0Dragon Ball Xenoverse 3<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n

At this point, it’s looking worse and worse for the chances of actually getting a new entry in the\u00a0Dragon Ball Xenoverse<\/em><\/a>\u00a0series as Bandai begins focusing on newer titles including the characters like\u00a0Jump Force<\/em> and\u00a0FighterZ<\/em>. Granted, considering the success of the series and where the last game ended before the additional content, there is plenty of room for a new game to cover more of the\u00a0Dragon Ball<\/em> animated and manga series, namely with\u00a0Super<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Aside from dipping into\u00a0Dragon Ball Super<\/em>, a\u00a0Xenoverse 3<\/em> could also expand into areas that previous DLC campaigns tiptoed into, such as introducing a proper\u00a0Dragon Ball GT<\/em>\u00a0game<\/a>. So, with so much of\u00a0Dragon Ball<\/em> still on the table, it only makes sense for developer Dimps and publisher Bandai Namco to push the brand forward and complete the set with all of the extended material the previous games haven’t quite touched on yet. It’s clear that those in charge are still ready to make new content for\u00a0Xenoverse<\/em> as well, seeing as the series continues to receive updates even four years after the last titles release.<\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n

The recent introduction of Super Baby 2 in\u00a0Dragon Ball FighterZ<\/em><\/a>, has really opened the door for more\u00a0Dragon Ball GT<\/em> content to finally get some representation within newer titles in the franchise. A DLC pack did come out for the first\u00a0Dragon Ball Xenoverse<\/em> that introduced some of\u00a0GT<\/em>‘s characters and storylines, but it was minimal at best, as is often the case with the non-canon series. Much of the criticism that\u00a0GT<\/em> faced when released in both Japan and to the West is likely the reason that the series really hasn’t seen as many adaptations as any other arc.<\/p>\n

Of course, it’s been quite some time since\u00a0Dragon Ball GT<\/em> first premiered, and while many of the critiques still hold water, the perception of the series has certainly aged to be better than the initial response. Players are now excited to see Super Baby 2 and now Super Saiyan 4 Gogeta in\u00a0Dragon Ball FighterZ<\/em><\/a>, thanks in part to the incredible designs that appeared in the series. Similarly, the nature of the\u00a0Xenoverse<\/em> games’ storylines also means that much of the filler that plagued\u00a0GT<\/em> and the inconsistent storylines can be trimmed to give the\u00a0Black Star Dragon Ball<\/em> and\u00a0Shadow Dragon<\/em> sagas a more concise adaptation.<\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n

Now, as much as some subset of the fanbase would like to see\u00a0Dragon Ball GT<\/em> get a fair shake, the real star power that Bandai Namco could bring to\u00a0Xenoverse 3<\/em> would come from\u00a0Dragon Ball Super<\/em>. The second game in the series released in time to maximize on the first to movies that would eventually go on to become the opening story arcs of\u00a0Super<\/em>, but the series has greatly expanded since then. Every new game in the series is now obligated to include some of the new transformations at the very least, with\u00a0Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot<\/em> adding Super Saiyan God<\/a> form recently, even though it didn’t originally go beyond the events of Majin Buu.<\/p>\n

Even Dragon Ball FighterZ<\/em>,\u00a0the game that delves into\u00a0Dragon Ball Super<\/em> the most, doesn’t actually touch on the new stories presented in the anime or manga. Instead\u00a0FighterZ<\/em> created it’s own story that acts as a completely separate arc from any of the ones found in the main series that could theoretically be slotted into place like many of the early\u00a0Dragon Ball Z<\/em> movies had been. So while\u00a0Super<\/em> characters and forms appear in\u00a0FighterZ<\/em><\/a>, the actual story arcs haven’t really seen much representation in a way that a\u00a0Dragon Ball Xenoverse<\/em> 3<\/em> could.<\/p>\n

One of the biggest draws to\u00a0Dragon Ball Xenoverse<\/em> isn’t actually the retreading over older storylines from\u00a0Dragon Ball Z<\/em>, but instead from the original material that comes as a result of the timeline getting fiddled with. These Parallel\u00a0Quests become the backbone of some of the most interesting moments in the\u00a0Xenoverse<\/em> series as some villains are killed early, allowed to live, or even win their fights against Goku and his friends. It sets up for impossible fights that never happened in the original game, and as a result, could lead to encounters like Super Saiyan Gods fighting Super Saiyan Blues<\/a>, or whatever other twist the creators can put onto the narrative.<\/p>\n

Additionally, with\u00a0Dragon Ball Super<\/em> introducing the Multiverse alongside\u00a0Xenoverse<\/em>‘s alternate timelines<\/a>, this could open the doors for even more character creation opportunities and even crazier Parallel Quest options. These “what if” scenarios\u00a0could elaborate on what happens\u00a0if the fight against Freeza on earth doesn’t go quite right, or if Goku Black kills Future Trunks before he can get Goku’s help. Some of what Xenoverse has shown about the alternate routes the timeline can take have upped the stakes of some major fights before, and it can do the same with\u00a0Super<\/em>, and\u00a0GT<\/em> for that matter.<\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n

There are still new updates coming to\u00a0Xenoverse 2<\/em><\/a>, bringing in some fan-favorite characters like Pikkon into the game, four years after the game released and other series have essentially taken up the mantle to fill the game’s role as a\u00a0Dragon Ball<\/em> inspired fighter. Bandai Namco clearly sees that there is at least some worth in continuing to put effort into the title, even after all of this time in its crowded genre. So, it wouldn’t really be going too far to say that the producer has absolutely no intention of testing how far the\u00a0Xenoverse<\/em> brand can go.<\/p>\n

Additionally, with massive successes with the\u00a0Dragon Ball<\/em> IP like\u00a0FighterZ<\/em>, showing off one of the best ways that the series can be adapted into a game, there is all sorts of new inspirations to fuel a\u00a0Xenoverse 3<\/em>. Most importantly, with every other AAA title in the world boasting impressive customization<\/a> as a major selling point, now is the best time for\u00a0Xenoverse<\/em> to enhance what had already been its primary focus. This is especially true when considering the ways Next-Gen consoles and PC tech can push the fights and customization to a whole new level if Bandai Namco gives Dimps the freedom to explore it.<\/p>\n

Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2<\/strong><\/em> is available now for PC, PS4, Switch, and Xbox One.<\/p>\n
