Dragon Ball: Beerus Remake Coming This Year

On January 25, 2026, during the 40th anniversary celebration, Dragon Ball Genkidamatsuri, it was announced that there will be a remake of the “Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Gods” film

This announcement came after the first panel, which released a special 40th anniversary video with music from Hans Zimmer and the reveal of the Moro Arc adaptation.

The key visual features Goku’s Super Saiyan God form and Beerus behind him.

The trailer shows all the main plot beats: Beerus waking up after a 39-year slumber, Goku fighting and failing to stop Beerus and Shenron revealing the secret of the Super Saiyan God form, requiring five righteous Saiyans to join hands, resulting in Goku’s new form.

This version will have updated visual quality matching the recent adaptations, with the style resembling Dragon Ball: Daima.

Originally a film released in March 30, 2013, the Battle of Gods film was later remade in 2015 as the first story arc of the Dragon Ball Super (DBS) anime (Episodes 1–15) and manga (Chapters 1-4), known as the God of Destruction Beerus Saga.

This means there are three distinct versions of the same story, with the remake creating a fourth version.

While the movie is praised for its quality animation and good usage of CGI, the anime adaptation has been criticized for inconsistent art, poor animation quality, stretched-out pacing and barely any important additions, outside of some character moments.

Dragon Ball Super: BEERUS Description from its official site:

“The globally beloved manga DRAGON BALL by Akira Toriyama continues to captivate fans through a wide range of media—from TV animation, movies, games, and merchandising—standing as a top-ranked title with extraordinary worldwide popularity.

Now, in 2026, the anime Dragon Ball Super, based on Akira Toriyama’s original work, story, and character design, is set to begin anew as Dragon Ball Super: Beerus!

This ENHANCED edition introduces a large volume of newly added and redrawn cuts, as well as a reconstructed narrative. With cutting-edge visual expression, the series delivers even more immersive battle scenes and a more faithful representation of the original manga—bringing an ENHANCED edition to life like never before.”

The Beerus remake will be released this Fall 2026, meaning by the first week of October.
