The hub this time is <strong>West City<\/strong> \u2014 home of Capsule Corporation \u2014 and more specifically West City University, where players are recruited into the Great Saiya Squad by Bulma and Gamma 1.<\/p>\n<p>Alongside those returning faces, four original characters are making their franchise debut: <strong>Brett<\/strong>, <strong>Lilica<\/strong>, <strong>ROM<\/strong>, and <strong>Tap<\/strong>. As ever, you create and customise your own protagonist, and these new characters slot into the wider story around your player character. Developer Dimps describes this as &#8220;a bold new chapter for the franchise&#8221; built on the world Akira Toriyama created.<\/p>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.gametrader.sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/xv3-west-city-header.png?w=474&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Dragon Ball Xenoverse 3 West City key art banner\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"><figcaption>Image courtesy of Bandai Namco Entertainment<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>Soul Assist and Soul Switch \u2014 The Two Systems That Could Define Xenoverse 3<\/h2>\n<p>The trailer puts heavy emphasis on two new gameplay pillars:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Soul Assist:<\/strong> Call in a Dragon Ball universe ally mid-battle to unleash a combined attack alongside your character. Think tag-team energy without handing over control.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Soul Switch:<\/strong> Temporarily channel the soul of an iconic Dragon Ball fighter \u2014 Krillin, Piccolo, Vegeta, Future Trunks, and Tien are confirmed so far \u2014 borrowing their signature moves and abilities for a limited window.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Both systems look designed to bring legendary roster members into your fight without replacing your custom character, which is a smart middle ground. Race choice also matters: Saiyans can still power up into Super Saiyan forms, while other races like Earthlings bring their own distinct playstyle. High-speed aerial combat and Ki attacks remain the bedrock of the action.<\/p>\n<h2>Platforms and What Singapore Players Need to Know<\/h2>\n<p>Dragon Ball Xenoverse 3 is confirmed for <strong>PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam<\/strong>. There is no Nintendo Switch or Switch 2 version announced at this stage. The release window is <strong>2027<\/strong> \u2014 no specific date or pricing has been confirmed yet.<\/p>\n<p>Singapore players should have no trouble at launch: the PS5 and Xbox Series X|S versions will be available through the standard regional PlayStation and Xbox digital stores, and the Steam release is global. If you missed the earlier Xenoverse entries, both are widely available and worth playing ahead of this one \u2014 check <a href=\"\/blog\/category\/game-news\/\">our game news coverage<\/a> for more upcoming 2027 releases.<\/p>\n<h2>Last Words<\/h2>\n<p>Dragon Ball has consistently packed out booths at Anime Festival Asia Singapore every year, and the Xenoverse series has a loyal local following in both the fighting-game and JRPG communities here. Xenoverse 3 looks genuinely ambitious \u2014 the new Soul systems, a fresh timeline, and original characters suggest Dimps is not just iterating but expanding the formula. 2027 feels far away right now, but this trailer has done its job.
