Dragon Ball XenoVerse or Dragon Ball XV, is the latest game in the franchise. It's based on the manga and anime. It was released on PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360, Xbox One, and will be released for Microsoft Windows via Steam. XenoVerse is the first Dragon Ball game released on some eighth generation consoles.
Gameplay
The game is 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. XenoVerse has dialogue while fights go on, and fighters show facial expressions when they strike an opponent or take damage. 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, now revealed as Toki-Toki City, which is the point of origin for the game's new character. XenoVerse is also the third Dragon Ball game to feature character creation, the first being Dragon Ball Online and the second being Dragon Ball Z: Ultimate Tenkaichi.
The game's new character is confirmed to be a player created character. With the character customization, players will now be able to customize their character's race, gender, head, build, voice, and clothing. You can also change the pitch and add voice effects to the character's voice. Voice effects include flanger, harmonizer, echo, and tremolo. These effects can be tweaked to the player's liking and more than one can be applied to the voice. Players can create characters from multiple races, with the ones available being Saiyans, Namekians, Earthlings, Majins and Frieza's currently unnamed race.[4] Players will be able to visit the futuristic Toki-Toki City, meet up with other players and take on cooperative, time-traveling missions.
The PS4 and Xbox One versions of Dragon Ball XenoVerse also include unique gameplay features proper to this generation of consoles such as improved graphics. Players can also become apprentices of the original Dragon Ball anime characters to equip over 200 special moves and 450 costume items. As reported by ShonenGameZ, an Amazon Japan posting for the guide revealed that there will be at least 47 playable characters. There will be 12 Master Quests, 50 Parallel Quests, 200 skills and 400 pieces of equipment to choose from according to the guide. Players also have the option to equip varying types of the Ki Charge Ability, but at the cost of a Super slot. Additionally, Vegeta uses an alternate version of Super Saiyan and Super Saiyan 2, called Super Vegeta and Super Vegeta 2 respectively, which will mainly affect the user's Ki Blast stat instead of Melee. Custom Saiyans will also be able to use this special.
Plot
Unlike the previous games of the series that usually follow the original Dragon Ball canon, "XenoVerse" will feature an entire new story, featuring the player's custom character. The 2014 V-Jump #7, which announces the game, draws attention to a mysterious figure watching the first battle between Goku and Vegeta from the shadows. With red hair, a scouter, and the Capsule Corporation logo on his sleeve, this character's identity was not clear. However, after some time it was revealed that this mysterious warrior is in fact a created character, thus confirming character creation for Dragon Ball XenoVerse. Another returning character is Time Patrol Trunks from Dragon Ball Online, who helps you restore time. Two new areas are also showcased: a completely new Hyperbolic Time Chamber-like area named the Time Storage Vault, and the other being a high-tech city with what appears to be a Time Machine landed on it. The story is revealed to be about two villains named Towa and Mira manipulating history, Time Patrol Trunks summoning a hero using Shenron to help him (the player being the hero) with the hero being tasked with restoring the timeline. The story borrows many elements from Dragon Ball Online, including Towa and Mira manipulating time, and Time Patrol Trunks trying to restore the timeline with the player's help.

So with all that copied straight from wikipedia, is anyone plan on playing it?
If you read you can create your own unquie character!
These are the playable races:
Earthling, Majin, Namekian, Saiyan, and Frieza's race.
I plan on playing as a female majin. I'd love to be a female saiyan, but I know EVERYONE wants to be one.
