Dragon Ball: Xenoverse (ドラゴンボール ゼノバース, Doragon Bōru Zenobāsu) is a Dragon Ball game developed by Dimps for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and the PC via Steam, The game's North America release is on February 17, 2015.[2]
Dragon Ball: Xenoverse, shortened as Dragon Ball XV, is the fifteenth Dragon Ball fighting game released on home consoles since Dimps' first Dragon Ball Z: Budokai game, and the first fighting game developed by Dimps to feature full 3D battles similar to the Budokai Tenkaichi video game series. It was originally known as Dragon Ball New Project,[3] until the actual title was revealed on June 10, 2014.[4]
Gameplay
Battles are set in full 3D destructible environments. Fighters can traverse the levels free-roaming in very large spaces and can be fighting on a platform, go in the air, and fight underwater. They run when on the ground, and swim while underwater. Dragon Ball: Xenoverse has dialogue while fights go on, and fighters show facial expressions when they strike an opponent or take damage. In addition to the ever-present ki meter, there is a green "guard" meter which can be used up to instantly disappear behind an opponent. This meter can also be used up by certain super attacks like the Kaio-ken.
The players have some freedom to explore the planet Earth as it exists in the Dragon Ball universe along with a handful of other locations, including a mysterious new city which is the point of origin for the game's new character. Like in all the Dragon Ball Z fighting games developed by Dimps, rather than choosing between Goku in his base form and his different Super Saiyantransformations, the character's power and abilities can be gradually increased over the course of each match. The same goes for other multi-form fighters like Frieza, Cell and Buu.
The PS4 and Xbox One versions of Dragon Ball: Xenoverse also include unique gameplay features proper to this generation of consoles.
Local multiplayer is also featured for the game similar to the Budokai (series).
In a similar fashion to Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Z, there can be more than 1v1 in battle. There will also be no Quicktime Events in battle and there will be cancels for special attacks.

Plot
Towa and Mira's Time Breakers have begun interfering with time, and so the Time Patrol, led by Future Trunks and the Future Warrior are sent back in time to stop them. The Future Warrior can travel through different parts of the Dragon Ball timeline using a scroll named the Book of Endings and Beginnings. Everytime the Future Warrior fixes the events which were changed by the Time Breakers, history returns to running its original course. The game takes place in age 850.
The Time Breakers destroying history causes many changes to the timeline.
During Goku, Piccolo, and Gohan's battle with Raditz, the Time Breakers interfere and power up Raditz, allowing him to dodge Gohan's attack and escape the Full-Nelson Special Beam Cannon, causing only Goku to be hit. Later on, Vegeta does not kill Nappa, and both he and Vegeta are powered up and transform into Great Apes to battle Goku.
Later on Namek, Vegeta joins the Ginyu Force in attacking the Z Fighters, and due to the Time Breaker's interference, Frieza begins to win the conflict, forcing the Future Warrior to interfere, though Frieza still defeats him, Goku, Gohan, and Piccolo. Frieza is also given a dark power up, but is eventually defeated by Goku and Future Warrior.
Cell is given the dark power up during the Cell Games, and Mr. Satan is also taken control of after Cell tries to kill him. At the climax of the Cell Games, when Gohan and Cell are preparing their Kamehameha clash, Cell is powered up by the Time Breakers.
Majin Buu is given the dark power up when he fights Super Saiyan 3 Goku. During the final battle with Kid Buu, Goku is not strong enough alone to push the Super Spirit Bomb into Kid Buu, so the Future Warrior arrives and helps him to use the attack.
When Beerus comes to earth, Vegeta manages to stop Buu from eating all the pudding, and gives some to Beerus. Later Beerus is given the dark power up and tries to destroy Earth.
Once each of these changed times have been righted, the Dragon Ball timeline returns to normal.
However, new parallel timelines are created from fragments when the timeline is fixed. These events are dramatically different from anything that happens in the main timeline.
A time when Goku fights alongside Raditz.
A time when the Ginyu Force attack Earth.
Modes
Universe Mode
Goku vs. Vegeta being observed by the Future Warrior
In this mode, the player creates a Dragon Ball history unknown to all by their own hand. [4] Early promotions for the game draw attention to a mysterious figure watching the first battle between Goku and Vegeta from the shadows, and pose the question of who he is and what this means.[3] With red hair, a scouter, and the Capsule Corporation logo on his sleeve, this character is referred to as Future Warrior, and has come back to intervene in the legendary battles of the series.[4]Bandai Namco does note that it is quite intentional that he seems to have features from many other, established characters in the series.[6] Two new areas are also introduced in the game: the Time Storage Vault which is stated to be almost like the Hyperbolic Time Chamber and a high-tech city with what appears to be a Time Machine landed on it.[3] Standing next to the Time Storage Vault is none other than Future Trunks, the warrior who once came back to the past to save his future, and he is wearing clothes similar to the ones he wears as Time Patrol Trunks in the computer game Dragon Ball Online.[4] Bandai Namco announced that the Time Machine, hourglass, and other features in these futuristic locales all tie together.[6] In an interview from the Japan Expo, it was revealed that story mode will be called “Universe Mode”.[7]

Trivia
Dragon Ball: Xenoverse is Dimps' first attempt at making a 3D Dragon Ball fighting game.
Dragon Ball: Xenoverse is the fifteenth Dragon Ball fighting game for home consoles since Dimps' Dragon Ball Z: Budokai and XV, the official abbreviation for Xenoverse, also stands as the Roman numeral for 15.[23]
The Greek word Xenoverse means "uncharted territory".
During an interview with Masayuki Hirano, he stated that although the game was announced for consoles only, they may consider releasing it for PC if there was sufficient fan demand. It has since been confirmed to be released on Steam.
Yamcha's pose when he is killed by a Saibaman is referenced in the game as a special attack. The "playing dead" emote animation also uses the pose.
Each created character has their own set of default settings as well as their own attributes.
