So what's in store for Dragonball games in 2026?

Post by budokaifanatic007 » Sun Jan 25, 2026 8:15 pm

So since the new Dragonball Game Project AGE 1000 will be released sometime in 2027, is it possible for us to get a filler game for 2026? If you notice a pattern, since about 2018 we get major games every two years with a smaller "filler" game, major DLC or port in between.

  • 2018: Dragon Ball FighterZ – PS4, Xbox One, Switch, PC
  • 2019: Super Dragon Ball Heroes: World Mission – Switch, PC
  • 2020: Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot – PS4/ Xbox One, PC
  • 2021: Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot (Nintendo Switch port)
  • 2022: Dragon Ball: The Breakers – PS4/PS5, Xbox, Switch, PC
  • 2023: Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot (next-gen release)/DLC– PS5/Xbox Series X
  • 2024: Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero – PS5, Xbox Series X/S, PC
  • 2025: Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero (Switch version) – Nintendo Switch & Switch 2 , Gekishin Squadra
  • 2026: ????
  • 2027: Dragon Ball Game Project AGE 1000
let me know what you guys think :)

For all we know there might not be a new console game this year.

But if I were to guess, I could see Legends getting a console port potentially.

I wouldn’t mind it, I think a HD collection of the PS2 games with online would be way better though.

100% agree, as long the OST replacements are good

If there was a game coming out this year (besides a port of an existing game), they would've announced it instead of next year's game.

We got Kakarot DLC, and next are FighterZ and Sparking Zero DLCs.
Maybe a Nintendo Direct or Battle Hour could still announce a surprise smaller game?

I’ve heard Rumors that we were getting two game announcements this year but I’m not sure if that’s true. If we don’t get anything at battle hour in April then i guess this is one of those years they skip a main console release.

I think they are going to break the two-year rule for a big title.

Yea I think so too at this point. Maybe we will get a Budokai Reboot/Z4 in 2028. They had playable demos of Budokai/Z3 along with Sparking Meteor/Tenkaichi 3 at the Genkidamatsuri event so I see they still hold these games in high regard. 2028 would be 20 years since the last Budokai console game(Burst Limit in 2008).
