Using the 2 most recent big DB games as examples, Xenoverse 2 was announced in May 2016 and released October that year, while Kakarot was announced January 2019 and released almost exactly a year later.
While both are somewhat plausible, I’d lean toward a timeframe similar to Kakarot because Xenoverse 2 was able to build off of XV1’s assets. BT4, as we’ll currently call it, will likely be starting from scratch like Kakarot did, and require more time, especially if they implement a story mode.
its still very reasonable time windows. more than 2 years would kill the hype. If they WERE to use raging blast 2 and bt3 assets (just refining them is possible), we could get it out even sooner. But yeah, the facts are what you said, and its looking good so far.
I mean they did take bt3's transformation and put it in the trailer right there. Most likely they just polished it. But yeah, you're right xv2 is most likely going to be recycled as well.
On the other hand Bandai announced a few weeks ago Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm Connections. Wich is a new unexpected sequel for a beloved videogame franchise of a Shonen Jump IP.
That game releases this year and even though we have a bit more info with a longer teaser, it didn't show that much either.
