Bandai Namco Entertainment announced the latest Dragon Ball game project, dubbed “Age 1000” at the “Dragon Ball Genkidamatsuri” event.

It’s a brand new world coming in 2027. It’s being shaped by Akira Toriyama, and more will be revealed at Dragon Ball Games Battle Hour 2026 in April.

The world of Dragon Ball continues to expand with a brand-new Dragon Ball world and its entirely original characters.

Set for 2027, the “Age 1000” project will introduce even more unique characters as the adventure unfolds. In a reveal trailer, fans can witness the debut of a never-before-seen character—designed by Akira Toriyama himself—within the new DRAGON BALL world, “AGE 1000.”

Further updates on this project will be announced at Dragon Ball Games Battle Hour 2026, which will be held in Los Angeles, California on April 18-19, 2026.
