Dragon Ball Xenoverse 3 Finally Confirmed
Bandai Namco dropped the trailer we've been waiting for. Dragon Ball Xenoverse 3 is coming to PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S in 2027. The announcement confirms the series isn't dead after Xenoverse 2's surprisingly long lifespan.
The take: About time. Xenoverse 2 has been carrying the Dragon Ball fighting game torch since 2016, and while it's gotten tons of DLC, the engine needs a refresh. Hopefully they fix the netcode this time around.
New Dragon Ball Super Game Brings Back Frieza
A separate Dragon Ball Super: Beerus trailer surfaced, showing updated battles between Goku and the God of Destruction. The big news? Frieza's getting resurrected again, because apparently that purple tyrant can't stay dead.
The take: Dragon Ball loves recycling villains, but Frieza works every time. If they nail the visual spectacle like recent Dragon Ball games have, this could be special. Just don't make us grind for transformation unlocks again.
Modders Unearth Lost Dark Souls II Content
Nearly 12 years after release, a modder discovered an abandoned sewer level in Dark Souls II. The findings suggest The Gutter area was supposed to be much more elaborate during development before getting trimmed down.
The take: This is why the modding community rocks. FromSoftware's cut content always fascinates because you know it was probably brutally difficult. Makes you wonder what other secrets are buried in those game files.
Meta's AI Push Makes VR More Expensive
Meta's massive spending on AI development is driving up Quest headset prices. The company's pivot toward AI infrastructure is creating budget pressure across their hardware divisions.
The take: Classic Meta move. They hook people with affordable VR, then jack prices once they think they've got market share. Problem is, VR still needs to be cheap to go mainstream. This could backfire hard.
