Overview
- Bandai Namco confirmed Xenoverse 3 for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S with a target release window in 2027.
- The publisher highlighted new core mechanics including the Souls system, Fighting Styles, Soul Assist, Awoken Skills, Soul Switch, and gear-linked Abilities to broaden how avatars fight.
- Players can choose from six avatar races, including a new Android option, and learn moves from more than 130 mainline and non-playable characters to shape custom movesets.
- Hands-on coverage at gamescom 2026 was limited to a short mission against Broly that did not demonstrate the new customization suite and left questions about balance, with some fans worrying about a reduced Super Saiyan duration.
- Dimps returns as developer and the series’ long run of post-launch support means the full depth and balance of these systems will be clarified only after broader hands-on previews and further developer disclosure.
