Toei Animation and Shueisha have confirmed that the new television series Dragon Ball Super: Beerus will premiere on October 11, 2026. Simultaneously, Bandai Namco debuted a gameplay trailer for Dragon Ball Xenoverse 3 during Sony's State of Play, scheduling the title for a 2027 release on current-generation hardware.
Broadcast Schedule and Music
The anime series will debut on Fuji Television at 11:15 PM JST. International streaming begins the following day, October 12, on Prime Video and U-Next. Before the television broadcast, an advance screening panel is scheduled for October 8 at New York Comic Con.
The production has locked its musical lineup. Megatera-Zero performs the opening theme song titled "Onogami," while VK Blanka provides the ending theme, "Kan Peki No Peki."
Xenoverse 3 Gameplay Additions
Bandai Namco confirmed that Dragon Ball Xenoverse 3 arrives in 2027 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. The game introduces a new Android race to the custom avatar system. The roster incorporates character models for Bulma and Gamma 1 alongside original combatants designed in part by the late Akira Toriyama.
These simultaneous announcements position the franchise across both weekly television broadcasting and current-generation gaming hardware over the next twelve months.
This dual rollout ensures that the multimedia empire continues to captivate both long-time adherents and newer demographics by utilizing different platforms simultaneously. The strategic timing between the television return later this year and the interactive digital release slated for the subsequent year demonstrates a calculated approach to sustaining fan engagement without oversaturating a single medium.
Ultimately, this robust pipeline highlights the enduring global appeal of the franchise, proving that decades after its inception, the universe created by Toriyama still holds the power to dominate cultural conversations across multiple entertainment sectors.
