"Dragon Ball Xenoverse 3" Official Discussion Thread

There not being a demon (glind/kai) race is extremely disappointing. Especially since they went so far as to give ROM a cool, original transformation. At the very least, I hope the new transformation means they'll extend that creativity to the races that need them.

But there not being a demon race is just a huge bummer. That was the only other (non Saiyan) Race I would have wanted to play.

I'm bummed out there is no Bio Android race. I'm hoping you can now recolor every item of clothing. If thats the case you could fo a Freeza build with the Cell head and wings easier.

The more I learn, the less interested I become. Purportedly there is going to be 130 characters at launch. However, as we know from experience, that doesn't literally mean 130 characters. A good 10 of them are going to be Goku. Another 6 or so Vegeta's. Gogeta and Gogeta Blue are also likely to be separate and so on and so forth. A lot of the roster is going to comprise the same character in a different state. Like Freeza (Final Fom) and Freeza (Timebreaker). So this 130 characters is more like 40-50 actual characters and we're still not getting OG Dragonball characters like King Piccolo nor other movie characters like Garlic Jr. and Dr. Wheelo. Plus Universe 6 and Universe 11 characters are going to be notably absent besides Toppo & Jiren and Kale, Caulifla, Cabba and Hit.

Then we have the addition of the Android race which is a complete nothing here. Because what's the difference in appearance between an Android and an Earthling? None. Unless it's either the Gammas (in which case you're just a shark-headed and gray-skinned Namekian) or a Cell-type, then it's an utterly pointless addition to the game. Kaioshin/Makaioshin are something we all wanted and are not getting. Some claim we are getting them, but if it's not in the demo or beta, I wouldn't count on it.

I still find the Super Hero aesthetic to be atrocious. The DBSSH simply wasn't good imo and all it did was take ideas from previous DBZ movies. It just recycled story elements and character ideas we'd already seen before. And in so far as we know right now , there has been no overarching villain for this game. In XV1 we had Towa, Mira and Demigra. Then XV2 focused more on Towa and Mira, then shifted to Dabura and Fu. But XV3? Right now we've got nothing.

One thing I'm noticing in the gameplay trailers is we once again are stuck dealing with indestructible environments and I'm so sick of them.

One of the characters is Arinsu from Daima

And the ending of the trailer shows OG Goku meeting OG Bulma so I think we'll have OG DB Characters

I can see some newer characters replacing less important characters like Frieza Soldiers or even Cell Jrs

Actually, there's a major spoiler image in one of these achievements..

Seems like those rumors about Xenoverse 3 introducing Time Gods of Destruction based on dinosaurs were real after all.

[Grimlock]

And I think that's supposed to be Goku in his new outfit, that will always be interesting considering how in the series we have to put up with him still wearing his "nostalgic" one.

[Chuquita]

It makes it look like he's wearing his Broly Movie coat under his gi.

I know that's not what it is, but the undershirt looks like that coat's collar.

Curious to see the whole outfit.

Is that Trunks with the glasses and suit?

I never heard anything about that.

[The Dark Knight]

Spoiler:

It looks like Kami can be your mentor.

[angeldreamZ004]

Goku's new design reminds me of Xeno Goku, but the color palette remains the same as his traditional gi rather than red and black, and undershirt has apparently more details.

Spoiler:

The Dragon or Dinosaur Hakaishin don't know what it is reminds me of a few Evil Dragons from GT wearing hakaishin clothes, and there is a slightly redesigned Chronoa.

Didn't expect to see those for the first time this way though lol why did this leak happened? Indication that the game won't be coming out in late 2027 but earlier?

Part of massive leak on Steam that happened today, with the achievement lists of several unreleased games got leaked, including Persona 6 and Kingdom Hearts 4, spoiling them

Sony already announced it will be released in early 2027, so maybe between January and March.

Thank you, that's crazy, KH4 is planned for late 2027 while P6 doesn't even have a release year planned yet. I thought was already very early for XV3, imagine those other two (and others in the middle)

Ugh it was left out from their latest trailer and I completely missed it, thanks. Was more prepared for a late 2027 release given the Moro arc being referred to as one of the first updates.

I also thought it would be late next year, as the marketing has been light for a game releasing within the next 4-6 months. I really hope it's not because the game is light on content and they don't have much to show.

Spoiler:

The achievements list doesn't mention anything about the story mode covering GT or Super for example; it seems to go up to Buu only.

[Zinnia]

So just as feared, they're taking XV1/XV2 content like GT and Z Movies.. only to resell it as DLC again.

Spoiler:

OG DB content seems to be half-assed too, no King Piccolo anywhere in sight.

The current state of the Gaming Industry is beyond abysmal at this point.

Spoiler:

One one of them say Complete I Wanna Be A Super Hero and has the DBS Broly / Cell Max image on it, so that could be representing Super, or could be only the four movies instead of the arcs as well. Or maybe what's most's likely, could be the one of the first story mode missions which doesn't cover Super at all, where you randomly have to fight Broly and Cell Max just like it happened in the demo mission. But it was also said that the mission with Broly was solely made for the demo if I'm not wrong, so idk.

One of them says Complete a Side Quest and has early DB Bulma image on it, so maybe it's only going up to that point of OG DB and is not even going to be part of the main story.

About GT and Z Movies I was already skeptical months ago about it being in the base game as I said they would be likely prioritizing Toriyama content and leave out those Toei-only content in order to sell as DLC.

Well let's wait and see, I'm bummet out if the base games is only going to cover Raditz-Boo once again and Super characters as there but not even to have the Super stories covered, but note how there's no achievement saying "Complete" in reference to the Saiyajin Arc, it seems more like Freeza-Boo here, but could also be because Saiyajin and Freeza are being considered as a single arc. I really really hope that this is what they really planned for the game and they aren't cutting stuff from it due to time constraints.

Yeah Geekdom leaked this a year or so ago without spoiler tags or whatever. I still think it's messed up that he did that.

Geekdom has been spoiling everything related to this franchise since he got in contact with whoever is supplying him with information. For someone who claims to be this ultra hyper mega fan, he sure goes out of his way to ruin the franchise for everyone else. What makes it worse is his holier than thou attitude he has with everyone he interacts with; the guy thinks he's god's gift to the world.

[Chuquita]

Spoiler:

Looking at XV3 Goku's undershirt closer, it almost looks exactly like what Vegeta wears under his armor in the F movie/Super arc and Uni 6 tournament arc, only in blue.

Kind of what I thought Goku Black was wearing before we got to see his shirt from the front.

Still looks like something you'd wear in colder weather.
