About
Dragon Ball Xenoverse is the first installment of the Xenoverse series and the Dragon Ball game developed by Dimps. It is the first fighting game to feature full 3D battles similar to the Budokai Tenkaichi series. Fighters can traverse the levels free-roaming in large spaces and can fight on ground, in the air and underwater. The game features spoken dialogue from a majority of main characters while in battle, and characters show facial expressions when they strike an opponent or take damage. Although limited, the players have some freedom to explore the planet Earth as it exists in the Dragon Ball universe along with a handful of other locations.
Story
Xenoverse features an entirely original story starring the player's custom character. The story itself borrows elements from the Dragon Ball Online MMO, which sees returning villains Towa and Mira manipulating the history of the Dragon Ball universe. Time Patrol Trunks asks Shenron to send him a hero who would help him restore the timeline.
What is happening now
Dragon Ball: Xenoverse is a fighting RPG that blends the series' combat with character progression and story creation elements. The game launched in 2015 across multiple platforms, establishing a template the franchise has followed since. The series remains active nearly a decade later, with Xenoverse 2 receiving fresh content. The latest DLC chapter wraps up the Future Saga storyline involving the character Fu, marking a major narrative closure for the long-running sequel. The update also includes material that hints at what may be coming in a potential third entry, including references to Trunks' involvement in future installments.
