Bandai Namco has dropped a major new look at Dragon Ball Xenoverse 3, revealing full character creation details — including the brand-new Android race — in the Fight Your Own Way trailer shown at PlayStation’s State of Play on 3 September 2026. With a playable TGS 2026 demo arriving in under two weeks, this is the clearest picture yet of what Dimps’ next action RPG has in store for Dragon Ball fans everywhere, Singapore included.
Six Races — Meet the Android Dragon Ball Xenoverse 3 Addition
Character creation in Xenoverse 3 opens with a choice of six races: Earthling, Saiyan, Namekian, Frieza Race, Majin, and the newly confirmed Android. That last one is a first for the Xenoverse series — mechanical fighters built for precision, with race-specific transformations that should make them a standout pick for players chasing a purely technical playstyle.
Once you pick your race, the trailer shows players pulling fighting styles and signature techniques from 130 Super Fighters — heroes and villains from across Dragon Ball history whose abilities you can inherit and combine into a build that’s entirely your own. The result is meant to feel like a story you write, not one you follow.
New Combat Systems: Ki Break, Soul Assist, and More
The game’s combat revolves around several interlocking systems. Drain an opponent’s Ki through combos and charged attacks to trigger Ki Break status — leaving them wide open for a punishing Break Smash finisher. Soul Assist lets you summon a Dragon Ball character to unleash their signature move once your Assist Gauge fills, while Soul Switch lets you pivot your avatar’s abilities mid-fight. Stack those with Awakening Skills and Ability slots and you get a build system with real depth.
All of this plays out in AGE 1000, a new and previously unexplored era of the Dragon Ball timeline, populated by original characters designed by the late Akira Toriyama. Players join the Great Saiya Squad and forge their own legend in a world still shaped by the heroes who came before.
TGS 2026 Demo: First Hands-On in Japan
Tokyo Game Show 2026 (17–21 September, Makuhari Messe) will mark the first hands-on demo for Dragon Ball Xenoverse 3 in Japan, hosted at the Bandai Namco Entertainment booth. Demo players will take on Broly (Super, SS Full Power) as a Great Saiya Squad operative with a time limit — two avatar options, each with distinct combat style and Awoken Skill. Finish the demo and you’ll walk away with an exclusive original keychain set.
Singapore fans planning a TGS trip have a compelling reason to queue up. For everyone else, Bandai Namco is expected to stream TGS stage events, so watch their official channels closely around 17–21 September for new gameplay footage.
What Singapore Dragon Ball Fans Should Know
Dragon Ball Xenoverse 3 is confirmed for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam, launching in 2027. No specific regional pricing or SG/SEA release timing has been announced yet — standard global launch pricing for PS5 titles typically runs around SGD 79–89 at launch, though Bandai Namco has not confirmed figures. Keep an eye on our Game News section as the TGS 2026 announcements roll in next week.
With the new Android race, the deepest character-building system the series has seen, and Toriyama’s final creative contributions woven into the AGE 1000 world, Xenoverse 3 is shaping up as the most ambitious entry yet. The TGS demo should tell us a lot more.
