Get ready to have your mind blown, Dragon Ball fans! A brand-new Dragon Ball game is on the horizon, and it’s unlike anything we’ve seen before. Bandai Namco has just unveiled Dragon Ball New Game Project AGE 1000, set to launch in 2027. But here’s where it gets exciting: this game has been in the works for six to seven years, including its initial concept phase, and it features a never-before-seen character designed by the legendary Akira Toriyama himself—yes, the late creator of Dragon Ball. Talk about a legacy!
While the platforms remain a mystery, one thing’s for sure: this game is shaping up to be a game-changer. Set in a completely original Dragon Ball world called “AGE 1000,” it promises to introduce a roster of entirely new characters as the story unfolds. And this is the part most people miss: this isn’t just a new game—it’s a bold expansion of the Dragon Ball universe, crafted with the same genius that brought us Goku, Vegeta, and the Z-Fighters.
But here’s where it gets controversial: Is this the right direction for Dragon Ball? With Toriyama’s passing, fans are divided on whether new characters and worlds can truly capture the essence of the series. What do you think? Is this a fresh start or a risky move? Let’s debate in the comments!
Mark your calendars for Dragon Ball Games Battle Hour 2026, happening April 18–19, 2026, at the Shrine Auditorium and Expo Hall in Los Angeles. That’s where Bandai Namco will spill more details about this ambitious project. Can’t make it in person? No worries—it’ll be live-streamed for fans worldwide.
In the meantime, here’s a quick recap of what we know so far:
- A brand-new Dragon Ball world with original characters, all designed by Akira Toriyama.
- A 2027 release date, giving us plenty of time to speculate and hype.
- More unique characters will be introduced as the adventure progresses.
The Dragon Ball universe is expanding, and we’re here for it. But the real question is: Will Project AGE 1000 live up to the hype? Only time will tell. Stay tuned, and don’t forget to check out the announcement teaser trailer below.
