dragon ball xenoverse 2 ps3.jpg

In case you hadn't noticed, many Japanese titles are still being released on PlayStation 3 in the Land of the Rising Sun. Here in the West, we usually only get the current generation versions due to the sheer popularity of the PlayStation 4, but i's been clear for some time that last-gen development can hold projects back, preventing them from fulfilling their potential.

For some, this was the worry with Dragon Ball XenoVerse 2, which was announced yesterday. Its predecessor, Dragon Ball XenoVerse, launched on both PS4 and PS3 worldwide, and although it's hard to argue exactly how the release was limited by last-gen development, we've no doubt that fans will be eager to see what the property is capable of when it isn't stretched across multiple platforms.

Fortunately, the brawler's Japanese announcement trailer - which you can watch below - confirms that the sequel is a PS4 exclusive in Japan, meaning that it isn't in development for PS3. Here's hoping that developer Dimps is able to take advantage of this, and craft a truly next-gen Dragon Ball game.
