Players will still be able to create their own custom fighter, so Xenoverse isn&#8217;t dropping that personal angle. It just sounds like the story is leaning harder into an original setup, which still fits the series&#8217; usual blend of self-insert characters and alternate-history Dragon Ball storylines.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The 7-minute gameplay showing introduced a couple of new systems. <strong>Soul Assist<\/strong> lets players call in characters such as Vegeta and Future Trunks. Soul Switch goes further, letting players transform into those characters and use their abilities directly. Reports have also pointed to broader customization options, including a playable Android race.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you&#8217;ve been wanting Xenoverse 3 to do more than run back through the same old Dragon Ball Z arcs, while still keeping the fan-service pull of the classic heroes, this sequel looks like one to keep an eye on, maybe even grab at <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/en.softonic.com\/articles\/the-new-dragon-ball-game-could-have-a-release-date\" rel=\"noopener\">launch<\/a><\/strong>.
