Dragon Ball Battle Hour 2026: times and expected announcements

Dragon Ball Games Battle Hour is a global event dedicated entirely to everything Dragon Ball. This year, the event celebrates its sixth edition and also marks the anime’s 40th anniversary. Dragon Ball Battle Hour 2026 will take place from April 19 to 20 in Los Angeles, California. Although the event mainly focuses on video games, it’s not unusual for anime and manga news to be announced as well. This year’s show is shaping up to bring major updates on the future of Dragon Ball as an anime.

Announcements and releases

One of the highlights of Dragon Ball Battle Hour 2026 is the reveal of details about Dragon Ball Project AGE 1000. This new game project, which will be presented during the event, has sparked plenty of speculation among fans. Very little is currently known about AGE 1000, but some believe it could be a reboot of Dragon Ball Online, or even a successor to Dragon Ball Xenoverse.

Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2, which will also be featured at the event, could continue to live on while Bandai Namco introduces AGE 1000. The title suggests a setting in the year 1000, which is 216 years after the events of Dragon Ball Z and represents an important period in Dragon Ball Online lore. The idea seems to be to push Dragon Ball into the future without disrupting the current Dragon Ball Super manga storyline.

Dragon Ball Super: Beerus

Dragon Ball Battle Hour 2026 will also host the panel for Dragon Ball Super: Beerus. This anime, a remake of the Battle of Gods story from the original Dragon Ball Super anime, has been announced and is expected to premiere this fall on Fuji TV. The event offers a chance to confirm a release date and possibly reveal the number of episodes in the remake.

Promotion for Dragon Ball Super: Beerus and other major announcements are expected, as the official Dragon Ball website has stated that the panel will reveal the latest information about the anime.

Conclusion

Dragon Ball Battle Hour 2026 is shaping up to be an exciting event for both gamers and anime fans. With major announcements about Dragon Ball Project AGE 1000 and the upcoming Dragon Ball Super: Beerus anime, the community is eagerly waiting for news that could define the future of the Dragon Ball universe. Fans can follow the event closely on April 19 and 20 to see what gets revealed.
