Get ready, Dragon Ball fans, because the universe is expanding in ways we never imagined! Just hours after the bombshell announcement of a new Dragon Ball Super anime sequel, the franchise dropped another bombshell: a brand-new video game titled Age 1000 is set to launch in 2027. But here's where it gets controversial—this game introduces a completely original character designed by the legendary Akira Toriyama, who, sadly, passed away in 2024. How will this new addition measure up to his iconic creations? Only time will tell.
Age 1000 promises to bring a fresh world and characters to life, with early speculation hinting at a far-future setting—a bold move for a series rooted in its nostalgic past. And this is the part most people miss: the new character is reportedly tied to Capsule Corp., can achieve Super Saiyan transformations, and has a mysterious connection to Goku. What could this mean for the canon? Fans are already buzzing with theories.
While details are scarce, we’ll get our first real look at the game during the Dragon Ball Games Battle Hour 2026, taking place in the U.S. on April 18-19. Until then, all we can do is speculate. Will Age 1000 follow in the footsteps of Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero, which dominated pre-order charts and sold millions in its opening days? Or will it carve out its own unique path in the franchise’s history?
One thing’s for sure: the Dragon Ball community is in for a wild ride. But here’s the real question—with Toriyama’s involvement now a posthumous contribution, will this game feel like a true continuation of his vision, or will it mark a new era for the series? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below, and stay tuned as we bring you more updates on Dragon Ball: Age 1000!
