Dragon Ball Games Battle Hour 2026 was a whirlwind weekend, blending high-stakes esports with a treasure trove of major franchise revelations. The event offered an exclusive glimpse at Dragon Ball Super: Beerus, confirmed new expansion content for Dragon Ball Sparking! Zero, and finally pulled back the curtain on the long-rumored “Age 1000” project, officially unveiling it as Dragon Ball Xenoverse 3.
If you weren’t able to catch the livestream on April 19, we have compiled a comprehensive breakdown of every major game and anime announcement from the show to keep you fully updated.
Dragon Ball Super: The Galactic Patrol
Before diving into the core reveals, the team confirmed that the upcoming Dragon Ball Super: The Galactic Patrol anime will bridge the gap from the Universe Survival arc, shifting focus to adapt the highly anticipated Galactic Patrol Prisoner narrative directly from the manga.
Dragon Ball Super: Beerus
Taking center stage, Dragon Ball Super: Beerus—a fresh reimagining of Battle of Gods—wowed attendees with its “Super Gekitou” trailers. The footage highlighted stunning animation sequences and cemented a Japanese launch slated for fall 2026. Voice acting legends Jason Douglas, Koichi Yamadera, and Masako Nozawa also offered heartfelt messages expressing their enthusiasm for this cinematic project.
Dragon Ball Xenoverse 3
Following the Beerus showcase, the event transitioned to the highly anticipated “Age 1000” project. The trailer provided a vivid look at this futuristic setting, introduced a newcomer named Brett, and confirmed the title: Dragon Ball Xenoverse 3. Set in a distant future, the game features character designs and world-building that benefited from Akira Toriyama’s direct creative input prior to his passing in 2024. This includes fresh player avatars and an elder version of Bulma. Developer Dimps is crafting this as an online-centric experience, with a 2027 release planned for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X.
