Bandai Namco has officially revealed that Dragon Ball Age 1000 is the next entry in its long-running franchise, confirming the game as Dragon Ball Xenoverse 3.
The publisher announced that Xenoverse 3 will launch on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and PC in 2027.
The news closes the book on the title’s codename and establishes the platforms and target year for the next-generation release.
Background and series context
The Xenoverse series, developed in collaboration with Dimps and published by Bandai Namco, began as a combat-focused take on the Dragon Ball license with time-travel and character-creation elements.
Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 received substantial post-launch support, including multiple DLC packs and updates, and was released on the original Nintendo Switch in 2017.
That history made the Xenoverse franchise a notable third-party presence on Nintendo’s hybrid hardware.
What Bandai Namco confirmed
In its announcement, Bandai Namco clarified the new title’s official name and platform lineup.
Paraphrasing the publisher’s statement: Bandai Namco confirmed that Dragon Ball Xenoverse 3, previously teased as Dragon Ball Age 1000, will be developed for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and PC with a planned release window in 2027.
The company’s platform list does not include Nintendo Switch or a Nintendo Switch successor.
Why the platform choice matters
For Nintendo Switch owners and series fans, the omission of any Switch listing is notable because Xenoverse 2 performed well on Nintendo’s original hybrid console.
The absence of Switch or eShop listings in the initial reveal means Nintendo players should not expect an immediate Switch version alongside the announced PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC releases.
Bandai Namco and Dimps have historically supported multiple platforms for the franchise, but this announcement defines the immediate platform focus for Xenoverse 3.
What to watch next
Expect further details from Bandai Namco in future updates and showings—potentially through events or a Nintendo Direct-style partner announcement—where the developer and publisher typically outline platforms, editions, and release specifics.
Until then, confirmed facts are clear: Dragon Ball Xenoverse 3 (Dragon Ball Age 1000) is coming to PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC in 2027, and the initial reveal does not list Nintendo Switch platforms.
