Alright, Dragon Ball fans, mark your calendars because things are about to get wild in Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2! Bandai Namco and Dimps are dropping a massive new content bomb on October 30, 2025, with the release of the Future Saga Chapter 3 DLC. And trust us, you won't want to miss this one. This latest chapter brings two powerhouse characters to the roster: the formidable Golden Frieza (Ultra Supervillain) and the unstoppable Broly (DB Super)!
We've been keeping an eye on all the announcements, and the excitement is absolutely palpable. The developers have been hard at work, and it's clear they're pulling out all the stops to keep Xenoverse 2 fresh and exciting, even years after its initial launch!
Golden Frieza's Next Evolution: A Glimpse at the Ultra Supervillain Form
Frieza, the Galactic Emperor we all love to hate, is back with a terrifying new look! For 36 years, fans have seen Frieza evolve, but his new Golden Frieza (Ultra Supervillain) form is something truly special. Now, you might be thinking, "Wait, isn't Black Frieza his strongest form from the Dragon Ball Super manga?" And you'd be right! However, since the Black Frieza form hasn't been animated in the anime yet, game developers often face challenges incorporating manga-exclusive content into video games.
That's where the "Ultra Supervillain" transformation comes in! It's essentially Bandai Namco's creative workaround to bring a form that's incredibly similar to Black Frieza into the game. In this new form, Golden Frieza sports black coloration on parts of his body, mirroring the aesthetics of his manga counterpart. The only distinct difference is a pink crystal embedded on his left chest, a signature mark of Fu's Ultra Supervillain power-up. The trailer hints that Frieza teams up with Fu in FUTURE SAGA Chapter 3, hoping to master time itself and infiltrate the Time Nest. Frieza is also planning to use Shenron's power and control Broly to achieve his nefarious goals!
"It's never been more obvious that Dimps is desperate to add content from the manga... Ultra Supervillain is just a 'loophole' to get past the 'higher up idiots'."
— Fan reactions (Obioraart & NickolaConagher on Twitter)
Fans have definitely noticed the striking similarities and are calling this a clever "loophole" to get around the restrictions on manga content. And honestly, we're all here for it!
Broly (DB Super) Joins the Fight and an All-Out Patrol Mission
But Frieza isn't the only heavy-hitter joining the fray! Broly (DB Super), the legendary Super Saiyan from Dragon Ball Super: Broly, is also making his grand entrance as a playable character. If you love unleashing pure, unadulterated power, Broly is definitely your guy.
Beyond just playing as him, you'll also get to experience an exciting new side story: the "Cheelai & Broly All Out! Conton City Patrol" scenario. This special extra scenario was teased in earlier trailers, showing some visual novel and even dating sim-like elements with Broly and Cheelai. It sounds like a fun, unique way to explore the characters!

A Saga Continues: Looking Back and Forward for Xenoverse 2
The "Future Saga" storyline in Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 is a multi-chapter adventure, with Chapter 3 being the latest installment. We've already seen Chapter 1 drop in May 2024 (introducing Broly (Restrained), Super Saiyan God Vegeta, and more) and Chapter 2 in November 2024 (featuring Jiren (Full Power, Ultra Supervillain), God of Destruction Belmod, and Goku (Mini)). There was even a Dragon Ball Daima Pack in May 2025 that added Super Saiyan 4 Goku (Daima) and Super Saiyan 3 Vegeta (Daima) with their new anime designs.
But the journey isn't over yet! Bandai Namco has already teased that the Future Saga will have a total of four chapters, with the exciting Chapter 4 planned for release in 2026. It's incredible to see the longevity of Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2, which first launched in October 2016 for PS4, Xbox One, and PC, and later for Switch in September 2017, and even got native PS5 and Xbox Series X|S versions in May 2024!
Whether you're a veteran Time Patroller or just jumping into the action, FUTURE SAGA Chapter 3 is shaping up to be an unmissable addition. Get ready to power up and protect history!
