New Dragon Ball game slated for 2027 with Toriyama designs

A new Dragon Ball video game is scheduled for release in 2027, featuring character designs by the late Akira Toriyama. The project might be the next installment in the Xenoverse series, based on its timeline. Details on Age 1000 are set to be showcased again in April.

The announcement of the upcoming Dragon Ball game highlights the continued legacy of Akira Toriyama, the series' creator who passed away in 2024. According to GamesRadar+, the title will incorporate Toriyama's character designs, ensuring his artistic vision persists in the franchise.

Speculation points to this being a successor to the Xenoverse series, given the 2027 release window aligns with patterns in the fighting game lineup. Xenoverse games have previously blended action RPG elements with Dragon Ball lore, and this new entry could follow suit.

Further reveals are anticipated in April, where Age 1000—a key era in the Dragon Ball universe—will be highlighted once more. This comes amid ongoing expansions in the multimedia franchise, maintaining fan interest through new gaming experiences.

No additional platform or gameplay specifics have been disclosed yet, but the involvement of Toriyama's designs underscores the project's commitment to authenticity.
