Dragon Ball fans have something huge to look forward to — “AGE 1000” is a brand-new Dragon Ball game project set to launch in 2027
It was officially announced by Bandai Namco Entertainment Asia during the Dragon Ball Genkidamatsuri event held on January 25, 2026, a special fan-focused event that was hosted by Bandai Namco to celebrate the Dragon Ball franchise.
Typically, major game-related announcements, high-impact reveals, trailers, and new projects tied to the Dragon Ball universe are unveiled during Dragon Ball Genkidamatsuri.
Why Dragon Ball AGE 1000 completely changes the game
The announcement confirms that the Dragon Ball universe is about to expand in an entirely new direction — one shaped directly by the imagination of Akira Toriyama himself.
Unlike previous titles, AGE 1000 introduces a completely original Dragon Ball world, filled with never-before-seen characters designed by Toriyama.
Fans were treated to the first look at a mysterious new character debuting in the project’s reveal trailer, giving an exciting glimpse into what this fresh era of Dragon Ball could look like.
As the story unfolds toward its 2027 release, even more original characters are expected to join the adventure.
