**Dragon Ball’s 2026–2027 slate is stacked: Super continues, Sparking! ZERO expands, and a brand-new project aims to launch in 2027.** **Dragon Ball 40th anniversary key visual showcasing the franchise’s 2026–2027 announcements.** If you needed a reminder that Dragon Ball is still the king of “making fans lose their minds,” the 40th anniversary wave just delivered—hard. Between Dragon Ball Super officially returning, a major refresh of the Beerus era, Sparking! ZERO turning more and more into the Budokai Tenkaichi 3 successor we always wanted, and a brand-new mystery game project set for 2027, it genuinely feels like we’re stepping into a new golden stretch for the franchise. And yes—I’m saying it with my chest: **Budokai Tenkaichi 3 is still one of my top 10 games of all time,** and Sparking! ZERO is getting closer and closer to that exact “endless replay” feeling. <script async src="https://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-7472214434062426" crossorigin="anonymous"></script> <ins class="adsbygoogle" style="display:block; text-align:center;" data-ad-layout="in-article" data-ad-format="fluid" data-ad-client="ca-pub-7472214434062426" data-ad-slot="2708104520"></ins> <script> (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); </script> 1) Dragon Ball Super is officially continuing — and yes, it’s the Moro era  **Super is back: Galactic Patrol gear, new enemy, and the arc fans have wanted animated for years.** **Teaser visual of Goku and Vegeta in Galactic Patrol uniforms for the continuation of Dragon Ball Super.** This is the headline for many fans: Dragon Ball Super: The Galactic Patrol is set for production. This is the continuation people have been waiting for—the story after the anime’s Universe Survival Arc, moving into the arc the fandom has been dying to see on screen. What we know right now is clean and simple: It’s positioned as the next major storyline after the previous Super anime run. The focus is the Galactic Patrol and the new threat known as Moro, the “Planet-Eater.” For anyone who’s been following the manga and thinking “how is this still not animated?”—this is the “we’re finally back” moment. 2) Dragon Ball Super: Beerus gets the ENHANCED treatment (Fall 2026)  **A refreshed starting point: Beerus returns with upgraded visuals, sound, and revised presentation beginning Fall 2026.** **Beerus' key visual for the ENHANCED edition of Dragon Ball Super announced for Fall 2026.** On top of new Super content, they’re also going back to the beginning—this time with a modern upgrade. Dragon Ball Super: Beerus was announced as an ENHANCED edition beginning in Fall 2026, with the stated goal of improving the viewing experience through an upgraded presentation. Whether you call it “enhanced” or “rebuilt,” the message is obvious: they’re investing in Dragon Ball Super for a new era, not just nostalgia. <script async src="https://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-7472214434062426" crossorigin="anonymous"></script> <ins class="adsbygoogle" style="display:block; text-align:center;" data-ad-layout="in-article" data-ad-format="fluid" data-ad-client="ca-pub-7472214434062426" data-ad-slot="4951124482"></ins> <script> 3) Sparking! ZERO is turning into the Tenkaichi dream: Mission 100, Survival Mode, and a major DLC wave  **The Tenkaichi energy is real: new modes, new stages, and content that pushes Sparking! ZERO into “forever game” territory.** **Dragon Ball: Sparking! ZERO screenshot highlighting upcoming modes and content updates.** Now we get to the part that hit me personally. Out of the gates, Dragon Ball: Sparking! ZERO is becoming more and more like Budokai Tenkaichi 3. Not just in vibe—also in the kind of content that keeps you playing for months, even years. **Free update: Mission 100 (January 26, 2026)** A free update adds Mission 100 on January 26, 2026, featuring 100 single-player battles with different challenges. That’s exactly the kind of “I’ll just do one more” content loop Tenkaichi fans love. Free update: Survival Mode (Spring 2026) And then there’s the one that screams Tenkaichi: Survival Mode planned for Spring 2026. This is huge because Survival isn’t just a mode—it’s a lifestyle. It’s one of those features that turns a Dragon Ball game into something you keep installed permanently. Major DLC: characters, stages, customization, and more (Summer 2026) Then comes the major DLC wave planned for Summer 2026, including: Super Saiyan Bardock Super Android 17 (GT) Great Demon King Piccolo Plus new content like stage additions and customization. New stages, new challenges, new reasons to keep coming back. This is exactly what fans mean when they say they want a Dragon Ball game with longevity. And that’s why I’m saying it: this is just the tip of the iceberg. 4) Project “AGE 1000” is real — new Toriyama-designed characters, targeting 2027  **A brand-new Dragon Ball game project targeting 2027, set in a new world with original characters designed by Akira Toriyama.** **Dragon Ball Game Project AGE 1000 teaser image.** This is the most mysterious announcement—and easily one of the most interesting. A new title currently labeled Dragon Ball Game Project “AGE 1000” is underway, targeting 2027, and it’s being positioned as a brand-new world with original characters designed by Akira Toriyama. **Is it Xenoverse 3?** Here’s the honest answer: it’s too early to call it Xenoverse 3, because nothing official has confirmed that name or a custom-character system. But the vibe is absolutely what's making the connection. When you see “AGE 1000,” you instantly think “far-future Dragon Ball,” and that naturally pulls fans toward comparisons with Dragon Ball Online and the kind of worldbuilding that influenced Xenoverse. My take: don’t label it as Xenoverse 3 yet—but it’s 100% fair to say it could be in that universe of ideas. And once we get more details, we’ll know exactly what this project is aiming to become. 5) A personal note (because it matters) Dragon Ball news hits differently now. Akira Toriyama is still the GOAT—always will be. Seeing these projects continue, seeing new characters and new worlds tied to his creative foundation… it’s emotional. I cried when we lost him, and I’m not going to lie: seeing this wave of announcements hit, I felt it all over again. **What he built isn’t just still alive. It’s still moving forward.** Dragon Ball 2026–2027 Roadmap (What We Know Right Now) January 26, 2026 — Sparking! ZERO: Mission 100 (free update) Spring 2026 — Sparking!
