Dragon Ball Online (ドラゴンボールオンライン, Doragon Bōru Onrain, Korean: 드래곤볼 온라인) (DBO) was a massive multiplayer online role-playing game being developed in Japan and South Korea by NTL, set in the Dragon Ball universe. Dragon Ball Online takes place on Earth, 216 years after the events of Goku's departure.

A beta testing of Dragon Ball Online was announced on March 10, 2007 in South Korea,[1] but was delayed until January 2010.[2] NTL Director Koji Takamiya stated in numerous interviews that he would like to see a global release for the game.[3][4] On September 26, 2013, the Korean servers of the game were shut down and on October 31, 2013, the Hong Kong and Taiwan servers of the game were shut down.

On May 21, 2014, a new website titled the Dragon Ball Z New Project was up and running. The website presented a picture of Goku and three screenshots. On July 10, 2014, the project was given a name titled Dragon Ball Xenoverse.
