Dragon Ball Gekishin Squadra Opens a Time Rift With Its Xenoverse 2 Collaboration
24/06/2026 - 07:30
The crossover between DRAGON BALL GEKISHIN SQUADRA and DRAGON BALL XENOVERSE 2 is now live, having launched on June 23, 2026 PT. The collaboration brings new Xenoverse-inspired cosmetics into the team action game, including a Time Patrol skin for Super Saiyan Trunks (Teen) and an Ultra Supervillain skin for Super Saiyan God Vegeta.
The official trailer frames the event as a collision between two distinct sides of the Dragon Ball universe. Gekishin Squadra brings its fast-paced team combat and objective-focused matches, while Xenoverse 2 contributes its timeline patrols, altered histories, and the dangerous power associated with Ultra Supervillains.
The crossover also includes new emotes and customisation items. However, the promotional material does not yet provide a full official breakdown of every acquisition method, price, event mission, or exact reward schedule.
The Time Patrol enters Gekishin Squadra’s battlefield
The most recognisable element of the collaboration is the new Time Patrol skin for Super Saiyan Trunks (Teen).
Trunks has long been one of Dragon Ball’s strongest links to time travel and altered timelines, making him a natural fit for a Xenoverse 2 crossover. Rather than introducing an entirely separate character, Gekishin Squadra is reinterpreting an existing hero through one of Xenoverse’s most recognisable visual identities.
That matters because the Time Patrol is more than a costume concept. In Xenoverse, it represents the group responsible for investigating and correcting distortions across Dragon Ball history. Bringing that identity into Gekishin Squadra gives the collaboration a clearer narrative connection than a standard cosmetic exchange.
For players, the appeal is straightforward. The skin gives Trunks a distinct version tied directly to one of the biggest themes in Xenoverse 2: preserving the timeline when powerful enemies try to change it.
Super Saiyan God Vegeta embraces Ultra Supervillain power
The second major piece of confirmed collaboration content is an Ultra Supervillain skin for Super Saiyan God Vegeta.
Ultra Supervillains have become a major part of Xenoverse 2’s recent content and are closely connected to the escalating threats of FUTURE SAGA. Their arrival in Gekishin Squadra gives Vegeta a more aggressive and dangerous-looking interpretation, built around one of the darker visual concepts in the Xenoverse universe.
Vegeta is also a fitting choice for that identity. The character has gone through many transformations and power states across Dragon Ball history, but the Ultra Supervillain concept gives him a particularly distinct look within the crossover.
The two skins create an intentional contrast. Trunks represents timeline protection and the Time Patrol’s mission to defend history. Vegeta represents a corrupted and more threatening surge of power connected to Xenoverse’s modern storyline.
That contrast helps the collaboration feel more deliberate. It is not simply placing two costumes in the game. It is bringing two opposing Xenoverse ideas into the same competitive battlefield.
The event arrives while Xenoverse 2 approaches its final DLC chapter
The collaboration is launching at an important moment for Xenoverse 2.
Bandai Namco confirmed during DRAGON BALL Games Battle Hour 2026 that FUTURE SAGA Chapter 4 will be Xenoverse 2’s final DLC chapter and is planned for summer 2026. That makes the Gekishin Squadra crossover part of a wider celebration of Xenoverse’s characters, transformations, and timeline-focused conflict.
The chosen skins make more sense in that context. The Time Patrol and Ultra Supervillains are not random references. They are directly connected to the modern identity of Xenoverse 2 and to the storyline reaching its conclusion through FUTURE SAGA.
For Gekishin Squadra, the crossover also arrives during a period of competitive expansion. The game is continuing to build its tournament ecosystem and is preparing its first offline-format World Championship, which will bring qualified teams from multiple servers to Japan.
That means the collaboration is doing more than appealing to Xenoverse fans. It also strengthens Gekishin Squadra’s place as a Dragon Ball platform where different corners of the franchise can meet.
What this means for players
For collectors, the two crossover skins are the clear reason to join the event.
The Time Patrol Trunks skin should appeal to players who enjoy Xenoverse’s classic timeline-defence identity, while the Ultra Supervillain Vegeta skin offers a more intense and intimidating alternative for Vegeta fans.
For players interested in the wider franchise, the crossover is a chance to see how Gekishin Squadra adapts Xenoverse concepts into its own team-action format. The confirmed emotes and customisation items also mean the event extends beyond hero skins.
The key details still to watch are the exact reward routes. The available promotional material does not confirm whether specific skins are earned through missions, paid bundles, limited events, or another system. Players should wait for the full official event details before assuming how each item can be unlocked.
Two Dragon Ball worlds collide as the timeline reaches its final chapter
The DRAGON BALL GEKISHIN SQUADRA × DRAGON BALL XENOVERSE 2 collaboration has a clear foundation: combine Gekishin Squadra’s team-based competition with the time-rift mythology that has defined Xenoverse for years.
Trunks arrives with the authority of the Time Patrol. Vegeta appears empowered by the menace of an Ultra Supervillain. Together, they turn Gekishin Squadra’s battlefield into another place where Dragon Ball history can be challenged, corrupted, and defended.
The collaboration is now live from June 23.
The only question is which side of the time rift players will choose to fight for.
