The “Age 1000” timeframe is particularly noteworthy, as it aligns with the setting of the Dragon Ball Online MMO. Given that the Dragon Ball Xenoverse series draws inspiration from that era, speculation is rising that this could eventually be revealed as Xenoverse 3. Bandai Namco plans to share more details during the Dragon Ball Games Battle Hour in April 2026.
In the meantime, Dragon Ball Sparking! Zero is keeping the momentum alive with a fresh wave of DLC content. A recent teaser gave fans a peek at upcoming fighters, including King Piccolo, Super Android 17, Tao Pai Pai, and the God of Destruction, Champa.
Toriyama’s artistic legacy also continues through Dragon Quest 12, which was first announced in 2021. Series creator Yuji Horii has expressed his determination to make the upcoming entry a masterpiece worthy of being a posthumous tribute to both Toriyama and composer Koichi Sugiyama. With the newly announced 2027 Dragon Ball project confirmed to carry Toriyama’s touch, it seems the manga legend’s influence on the RPG industry will remain strong for years to come.
To get ready for the next era of the franchise, here is our guide on how to watch the Dragon Ball series in chronological order.
