The Bandai Namco press conference only covers House of Ashes.

So no new game announcement :lol:

This E3 has been so bad. Nintendo might be the only good conference

Very disappointing .

Apparently they only want to milk xenoverse 2.
Very bad.

Kakarot was announced for the Nintendo Switch, it seems that's the 2021 game like most predicted.

We could still get an announcement for a new Dragon Ball game at TGS or Jump Festa, I'm thinking the latter.

2016: XV2
2017: XV2 on the Switch
2018: Fighterz
2019: Fighterz on the Switch
2020: Kakarot
2021: Mostly likely Kakarot on the Switch
2022: New game
It looks like I was right. A new game will probably be out in 2022 and having a Nintendo port the following year.

I'm not excited about the upcoming game in 2022, because I feel like it will be something stupid, clunky and not fun to play made by Spike Chunsoft.
I feel they'll made the next game because it will probably a PS5 only game and "gotta pomp up those graphiks", and Namco will choose them because Spike in the last 10 years or so have been passionate about making "realistic" graphics for anime fighters.

Also, I don't think either Xenoverse 2, FighterZ or Kakarot will ever get a sequel despite the sales. It just doesn't look like that making sequels is in their plans anymore.

I hope it's a JRPG, in the style of the old card game system like Legend of the Super Saiyan for the SNES and the DBZ I and DBZ II for the NES but I doubt that would be popular anymore.

No real game this year, just a port? Thank goodness. The yearly release schedule contract really overstayed its welcome.

Xenoverse 3, I can understand being frustrated about because XV2 is pretty sloppy gameplay wise and could use so many updates, and it's been five years. But otherwise I'm so glad we're no longer getting "yearly iterative games" whose sole purpose is basically just roster updates and adapting a little bit more or less of the story.

Any chances of an announcement this coming December for Jump festa? I think its the biggest chance we have, maybe a late 2022 release?

Goku didn't die in GT. The show sucked him off so much, it was impossible to keep him in the world of the living, so he ascended beyond mortality.

I honestly wouldn’t mind this. They just need to incorporate a more fun story and things to draw in casuals. Also I wouldn’t mind some more obscure characters from the series.

With the announcement of the new movie I think we have a good chance of getting a new game next year. Hopefully they've been working on something new since the release of Kakarot. :)

Fighterz 2 or a brand new game is likely for 2022 with XV2 still getting DLC.

They can also capitalize on the hype of the upcoming movie.

Do we really need a FighterZ 2? The game is already so polished and well-rounded. Not that I enjoy ports, but with a game as carefully crafted and made as FighterZ, all they can add is either a Story and more characters. Neither of which would be worth $60 unless we're talking about branching pathways, different timelines and busting into the world of characters like Tao Pai Pai, King Piccolo, and movie characters like Garlic Jr.. Even then, it'd just be FighterZ 1.5.

Dokkan and Legends are holding steady, so I don't see a new Mobile game soon, we already know that we're not getting Xenoverse 3 since it was confirmed to have DLC next year. This only leaves Ports of older titles or a new game.

Frankly, I'm putting my money on a Kakarot sequel focusing on either the Original ( which I would actually buy honestly ) or on Super.

A sequel is the only shot FighterZ has of being playable online. The possibly of including rollback netcode alone is enough reason for FighterZ 2 to exist.

Not to mention FighterZ seems to be at the end of its DLC cycle while there still doesn't seem to be an end in sight of DLC support for it.

Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if no new game was released in 2022. That being said, I could see something be announced in 2022 for release in 2023 (systems: PS5, XSX & Switch).

Does anyone have a source for this supposed rule that they have to release a Dragonball game every fiscal year? Or Bandai will lose the IP license.

No source because they wouldn't admit it outright, but in practice we can constantly observe it. Ports count for that of course.
