  "account": "Bandai Namco has narrowed the release window for the highly anticipated multiplayer-enabled brawler Dragon Ball Xenoverse 3. Previously, the sequel to the 2016 fan-favorite was slated for 2027, but now it will arrive in the second half of that year. At a recent developer update, producer Masayuki Hirano shared that the team has taken player feedback into account, leading to this adjustment. Hirano expressed gratitude for the support received from fans and emphasized the importance of continuous communication throughout the game's life cycle. The development team held discussions following the feedback and survey results, committing to make improvements in response. Hirano hinted at the possibility of a quieter period before the next update, but stressed the company's dedication to making 2027 a great year for Dragon Ball game fans.",
  "summary": "Bandai Namco announced a narrower release window for the upcoming multiplayer-enabled brawler Dragon Ball Xenoverse 3, although it's not too much more specific. Previously, the publisher had stated that the sequel to 2016 fan-favorite would arrive in 2027. Now, it's turned that from a 12-month window into a six-month one, saying that it'll be out in the second half of 2027.",
