==Story==
*In Age 852 the Future Warrior (Xenoverse 2) is assigned a critical mission by Chronoa to stop changes in history created by the resurgent Time Breakers and their allies. The Future Warrior's mentor, Elder Kai oversees their missions from the Time Nest.
*Xeno Trunks and Toki Toki City Hero (the protagonist of Xenoverse) who had been summoned by Trunks' wish to Shenron and had previously defeated Demigra after his attack on Toki Toki City in Age 850, continue to search for Towa and Mira, assisting the new Future Warrior when they confront Turles and Lord Slug.
*After learning that Turles and Lord Slug have been recruited by the Time Breakers to cause time distortions throughout history, Chronoa announces that Tokitoki is about to lay an Egg which contains time for an entire universe.
*Turles provides Burter and Jeice with Fruit of the Tree of Might (Demon Realm) which grants them stage 2 Villainous Mode. Elder Kai notes the Fruit of the Tree of Might is a divine fruit only meant to be consumed by divine beings such as Glind as it takes the energy of an entire planet to produce.
*Xeno Trunks has his body stolen by Dark Captain Ginyu after falling into a trap while trailing him to find Mira on Namek in Age 762. Xeno Trunks in Ginyu's body joins the Future Warrior and Goku in fighting Ginyu in Trunks' body and Jeice. Jeice is killed and Xeno Trunks returns to his original body. Turles aids Ginyu in stealing Goku's body which inadvertently restores the timeline as Goku manages to return to his original body and saves the Future Warrior from having their body stolen by throwing a Namekian Frog which Ginyu swaps bodies with instead, though Turles escapes.
*While stalling Frieza with Nail in Age 762, Turles and Slug steal the Namekian Dragon Balls from Gohan and Krillin. Chronoa has the Future Warrior return to the Time Nest to use a scroll to travel further back in time something that Elder Kai was unaware was even possible and feels like cheating, though Chronoa notes that they'll do what is necessary to protect history.
*Turles and Slug both plan to use the Namekian Dragon Balls to acquire immortality though they start fighting as they both wish to become immortal so they can defeat Frieza and Mira so they can rule the universe, and neither is willing to serve the other. However, they declare a truce when the Future Warrior arrives to stop them.
*Turles and Slug eat the Demon Realm enhanced fruit and achieve Villainous Mode. Krillin convinces Gohan to leave things up to the Future Warrior while they flee with the Dragon Balls to revive Piccolo and summon him to Namek as in the original history. However, Turles and Slug start to swell with Dark Energy and Turles surmises Towa tampered with the fruit.
*Towa and Mira appear as Towa reveals she used Turles and Slug as guinea pigs to test her new Supervillain spell that shaves off life to grant the recipient greater power. Xeno Trunks tells his partner to chase after Mira while he stays behind to back up the Future Warrior against Supervillain Mode Turles and Slug. They defeat the Supervillains by countering their combined energy wave with a combined energy wave of their own.
*Xeno Trunks leaves to chase after Mira, leaving the Future Warrior to hold off Dark Frieza until Goku appears. Goku finally appears and Vegeta dies.
*The Future Warrior and Goku fight Dark Frieza. Eventually Goku resorts to the Large Spirit Bomb which Elder Kai assumes will defeat Frieza, while Chronoa notes King Kai can come up with some real humdingers despite not being able to use them himself.
*Dark Frieza survives the Large Spirit Bomb and kills Krillin, causing Goku to become a Super Saiyan. SSJ Goku takes Dark Frieza's Killer Ball attack head on, thus the Future Warrior does not have to protect Gohan and Piccolo like their predecessor did in Xenoverse.
*Frieza uses Destroy the Planet! but holds back allowing Namek to survive for the time being though the attack was fatal to the planet.
*While noting he held back, Cooler appears and admonishes Frieza for holding back at a time like this. Cooler reveals Towa allowed him to bend time and space to travel to Namek in Age 762 in order to undo the shame caused by Frieza's loss. Cooler also resolves to kill Goku as a way to repay Towa for her assistance.
*Frieza and Cooler transform into their Full Power states (100% Final Form for Frieza and Fourth Transformation for Cooler) which is enhanced by Supervillain Mode. However the Future Warrior defeats Cooler who falls into the remains of Namek's molten core. SSJ Goku asks them to leave Frieza to him after Dende summons Porunga.
*The Future Warrior joins Xeno Trunks and his partner as they confront Mira. While the Future Warrior tends to an injured Xeno Trunks, he orders his partner to chase after Mira.
*For defeating Frieza and Cooler, Chronoa awards the Future Warrior with a Flying License allowing them to use Flight legally in Conton City and also serves as recognition that they are no longer a rookie and are now an Elite Time Patroller.
*Xeno Trunks observes his mentor Future Gohan's death via the Time Scroll for Age 780 of Trunks' timeline and while talking to the Future Warrior, notices a time distortion has occurred in Age 780. As Xeno Trunks originates from that timeline, he leaves it up to the Future Warrior to fix the history change. However while observing the battle with Mira who had appeared after the Warrior and Future Gohan had defeated the reactivated Future Android 16, Trunks realizes that Mira is too powerful for them and not willing to stand by and watch his mentor and follow Patroller be killed, Trunks defies Chronoa and travels to Age 780 to join the fight against Mira. After Mira retreats Chronoa witnesses Xeno Trunks ' reunion with Gohan. When Xeno Trunks reveals his intentions to assist Gohan in battling the Androids, Chronoa tries to convince him to reconsider and orders the Future Warrior to stop him when he fails to listen. However Gohan and the Warrior manage to convince Xeno Trunks let Gohan face 17 and 18 alone as he did in the original history. Chronoa allows Future Gohan's encounter with Xeno Trunks and the Future Warrior to remain in the timeline as Gohan ended up being killed as he had in the original history and out of consideration for Trunks.
*Following the defeats of Cell in Age 767, Future Android 16, and Future Cell in Age 785 by the Future Warrior, Chronoa announces that Tokitoki has finally laid its egg. Xeno Trunks and the Future Warrior notice a history change in Age 774.
*After the Future Warrior defeats Supervillain Broly in Age 774 preventing him from interfering in Majin Vegeta's battle with Goku and Majin Buu, Xeno Trunks observes his father saying good-bye to his main timeline counterpart before his father's sacrificial Final Explosion and afterwards reveals to Elder Kai and Chronoa that he is proud to be his father's son.
*After the fight with Supervillain Janemba in Hell, the Future Warrior brings back an injured Xeno Trunks who had been defeated by Janemba.
*After the Future Warrior assists Goku and Vegeta, in defeating Supervillain Kid Buu, Xeno Trunks awakens after recovering from his injuries and informs them that there was a masked fighter assisting Janemba and that they may be watching nearby. The Future Warrior finds the Masked Saiyan and ends up chasing them to Age 778.
*When the Masked Saiyan and Future Warrior end up in Age 778 during Beerus' battle with Goku, Chronoa attempts to pacify Beerus by sending some pudding she made, however Beerus is enraged at its horrible taste and Goku is incapacitated by stomach cramps after eating some, however Whis and the Warrior manage to calm Beerus.
*Beerus and Whis travel to the Time Nest after being tricked by Towa who had hacked into the Time Nest's communications and imitated Chronoa in order to lure him and Whis from assisting Goku and his friends during the altered timeline of Frieza's revenge in Age 779. Angered over Towa's blasphemous actions, Beerus and Whis assist the Time Patrol in undoing the damage caused by their absence, allowing the Future Warrior to prevent Frieza from destroying the Earth and successfully killing Goku.
*Beerus is enraged when Towa fails to appear after correcting the history change in Age 779. At first Whis suggests he seal Elder Kai in the Z Sword again to alleviate his stress, but then offers to spar with Beerus and the Future Warrior after learning about Tokitoki's recently laid egg from Chronoa. Beerus however is forced to leave during the sparring match when Whis draws his symbol on the God of Destruction's forehead with permanent ink. The Future Warrior manages to defeat Whis in the sparring match. Beerus decides to leave Towa's defeat up to the Future Warrior and the Time Patrol and returns with Whis to his planet in Age 779.
*Xeno Trunks, Chronoa, Elder Kai, and the Future Warrior decide to focus on finding the Masked Saiyan whom they had discovered was Bardock after his mask broke during his fight with the Future Warrior in Age 778. As a result of their investigation, the Time Patrol discovers the Time Breakers had taken control of Earth in Age ??? and that Towa had managed to capture and brainwash the Toki Toki City Hero, turning them into the Masked Future Warrior.
*Xeno Trunks and the Future Warrior return from Age ??? with the Mask the Toki Toki City Hero wore while brainwashed, after Towa retreats following Mira's imprisonment in the Time Rift by Bardock and Ace being freed from her control.
*As a result of Towa killing Shenron in Age 850, before he can grant Xeno Trunks' wish, Chronoa, Elder Kai, the Future Warrior, and Xeno Trunks lose their memory of the Toki Toki City Hero, who had faded from existence due to Towa's actions. This creates a massive time distortion across all the Time Scrolls, effecting the memories of everyone in Age 852.
*However the presence of the mask Towa used to brainwash the Toki Toki City Hero in Age ???, causes Xeno Trunks to remember his partner and discover the source of the time distortion inside the Time Scroll for Age 850, allowing the Future Warrior to travel back in time to stop Towa from killing Shenron.
*Despite her defeat in Age 850, Towa suddenly appears inside the Time Vault and attacks Chronoa. It is revealed that Towa bypassed the barrier around the Time Nest via the Hero's Mask which Xeno Trunks had brought back with him from Age ???. Towa reveals she infiltrated the Time Nest in order to steal Tokitoki's Egg and states that she will use its power to revive the Demon Realm.
*Towa uses the Egg's power to open a portal to the Time Rift, freeing the trapped Mira who attacks Xeno Trunks with an energy blast. He tries to do the same to the Future Warrior, but Ace takes the blast for them, as Towa and Mira flee to Age ???. Injured by Mira's attack, Ace leaves the Time Breaker's defeat up to the Future Warrior.
*Xeno Trunks recovers and from the Time Nest informs the Future Warrior that the Time Patrol will be unable to assist them in the fight against Mira. He and Elder Kai witness Mira defy Towa and as his encounter with Bardock inside the rift had changed him and observe Towa join forces with the Warrior to prevent Mira from overheating and destroying the universe after removing his power limiter.
*After Mira is defeated by Towa and the Warrior, Elder Kai and Xeno Trunks witness Mira betray his creator by absorbing her and Tokitoki's Egg, transforming into his Final Form. Elder Kai implores the Future Warrior to flee as Mira is far too powerful. Just as Mira is about to kill the Warrior, Goku arrives (with help from Whis) to repay them for helping defeat Supervillain Golden Frieza and Supervillain Metal Cooler in Age 779.
*They then observe Super Saiyan Blue Goku use the Dragon Fist to remove Tokitoki's Egg from Mira, allowing the Future Warrior to finish off Mira with a Super Kamehameha.
*After Mira's defeat, Goku and the Future Warrior travel to the Time Nest, where Chronoa stops Goku when he tries to eat Tokitoki's Egg, before informing everyone that the Egg is ready to hatch, and they are about to witness the birth of a new Universe. In recognition for their defeat of Mira, the Future Warrior becomes known as the Conton City Hero and receives a holographic statue in Conton City's Recreation Plaza.
*As Whis prepares to return with Goku, Goku informs him that the Time Patrol is planning to have a feast to celebrate the return of Tokitoki's Egg and the defeat of the Time Breakers, causing him, Goku, and Beerus to remain in Conton City for the feast.
*Elder Kai ends up bumping into Beerus and he ends up angering Beerus with his attitude towards the God of Destruction due to his grudge over being sealed in the Z Sword, causing Beerus to almost destroy Elder Kai, but Whis arrives in time to defuse the situation with a plate of food.
*Chronoa summons Shenron at the behest of Tokitoki to wish up the promised feast and manages to dissuade her from cooking the meal herself. Elder Kai objects to using the Dragon Balls to order takeout as he puts it, but Beerus states it should be alright as it is a special occasion, so Chronoa wishes for a feast that will leave everyone full and satisfied.
*Members of the Time Patrol's Hero Society appear in Conton City to give the Warrior gifts in honor of their achievement.
;Secret Ending
*The Future Warrior investigates the Five Time Rift anomalies that had appeared in Conton City and discovers that they were created by 5 Distorted Time Eggs. After collecting all five, Chronoa reveals they were created by Towa in an attempt to replicate Tokitoki's Egg but failed and decided to plant them in various places and eras resulting in the creation of the five anomalies. As the anomalies are stable, Chronoa decides to allow them to remain.
*Chronoa and Elder Kai ask the Future Warrior to look at the Time Scroll depicting Bardock's battle with Mira inside the Time Rift that Bardock had pulled Mira into after being freed from the Time Breaker's mind control. Chronoa asks the Future Warrior's opinion on what happened to Bardock following the battle.
*Chronoa and Elder Kai show the Future Warrior a Time Scroll that shows an altered timeline where Xeno Trunks decided to go through with defying Chronoa and saving the life of his master Future Gohan, resulting in Future 17 & 18 being destroyed by Future Gohan and Xeno Trunks in Age 780 and creating a new future timeline where Gohan never died. Chronoa asks the Future Warrior their feelings on where the change should be fixed or not, but reminds them she has final say regardless, but takes their feelings under consideration. It is unclear if she decided to fix the change or allowed it to remain as an alternate timeline where Xeno Trunks lives in peace with his mentor, Future Bulma, and his younger counterpart. Chronoa later reveals that Xeno Trunks ' actions were caused by a natural time distortion produced by the distorted time eggs in response to Xeno Trunks ' strong desire to save his master.

*Suddenly Cabba, Frost, and Hit are inexplicably empowered with Supervillain Mode.

*The Future Warrior receives a new mission from CC Robot Culina. Elder Kai notes Xeno Trunks is not with them, though Chronoa reveals she sent him on another mission due to the sensitive nature of the new mission's timeline, which is the Future Timeline from Dragon Ball Super which involves Xeno Trunks' Dragon Ball Super counterpart.

*Supervillain Mode Fused Zamasu transforms into Supervillain Mode Grotesque Zamasu using the Light of Divine Justice and confronts the two Future Warriors.
*Grotesque Zamasu reveals he knows they are Time Patrollers and that he plans to eliminate their divine masters. Chronoa calls the Toki Toki City Hero away for a special assignment leaving the Future Warrior to hold off Grotesque Zamasu long enough for Goku and Vegeta to fuse into Vegito.

*Vegito Blue's fusion runs out forcing Super Saiyan Rage Future Trunks to defend Goku and Vegeta with his Light Sword.

Future Trunks counters that he's alive because of those that helped him and that is what it means to be human.
*The remaining Earthlings subconsciously create a Spirit Bomb which Trunks channels into his sword to create the Sword of Hope. Unfortunately, Grotesque Zamasu overpowers it by activating Supervillain Mode and states that not even the power of the Future Warrior whom he calls that Time Patroller can stand in the way of justice.

*The Future Warrior returns to the Time Nest, while the Toki Toki City Hero throws something to Goku who thanks them for their help as they return to the Time Nest.
*In the Time Vault, Elder Kai notes the irony of how the rift brought good power that was desperately needed. Chronoa surmises everyone who helped him by sending energy sensed Future Trunks' strong desire to protect the integrity of the future. Chronoa asks the Toki Toki City if their deliver was successful which they confirm.
*Suddenly the face of Infinite Zamasu appears in the Time Vault. Elder Kai panics, but Chronoa is surprisingly calm. Infinite Zamasu asks if they enjoyed the show from behind the curtain and asks if they think they are above the gods refusing to accept Chronoa's authority over time.
*However Chronoa calmly takes a Time Scroll from the table and notes his struggling is useless as his disappearance is a fact of history before staring him down along with Tokitoki.
*Infinite Zamasu notices something is wrong due to her odd behavior. Chronoa tells Zamasu that they have Time Patrollers and not to underestimate them, winking cheekily as Infinite Zamasu is erased from existence.
*Chronoa explains to the bewildered Elder Kai that she ordered the Toki Toki City Hero to find Zeno's Button and return it to Goku who used it to summon Future Zeno when Infinite Zamasu simultaneously appeared in Age 796 and Age 852 when he was trying to become one with existence.
*Future Zeno erased Infinite Zamasu along with the future multiverse in Age 796 causing Infinite Zamasu to be erased in Age 852 as well as his erasure was a fact of history.
*Xeno Trunks appears and reveals he sensed the earlier battle and notes that it was related to his crime of altering history. Chronoa however notes it is outweighed by all the good he has done and to stop brooding about it which is seconded by Tokitoki.
*Chronoa reveals she believes it is wrong to keep him indentured to them forever because of his crime and asks if he enjoys his work, effectively giving him the chance to leave her service.
*Xeno Trunks however states he appreciates her concern, but he is happy with his job, has made friends, and grown used to life in Conton City and the Time Nest. Xeno Trunks decides to remain of his own free will much to Chronoa and Elder Kai's relief.
*Unbeknownst to the Time Patrol, before her death Towa used the Time Scroll of Age 774 during her infiltration of the Time Vault. She prevented Dabura's death before covering her tracks.
*Dabura swears revenge on the Time Patrol and begins harvesting Damage Energy to empower himself and Fu his artificially created nephew the genetic offspring of Towa and Mira.
*Dabura also forms an alliance with a fighter from an alternate timeline (who it is depends on who he is facing, examples include Demigra and Android 17).
*The Future Warrior must stop Dabura's revenge in a special story mode where they team up with their instructors in dealing with Dabura and the enigmatic Fu's alternations to history. As a result, it has multiple unique storylines and endings. It is accessed by checking a rift in time near Chronoa's house. After it has begun, the Future Warrior can access it by a special Time Scroll called Tokipedia.
==Timeline Placement==
The events of Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 take place in Age 852, two years after the events of the first game and a year after Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 The Manga. As with Dragon Ball Xenoverse, Xenoverse 2 parts of the story take place in several altered timelines and eras due to the Time Breakers alterations to history.
In Age 780 of Future Trunks' timeline, a history change involving Future Android 16 and Mira leads Xeno Trunks reuniting with Future Gohan before his death. As a result, Future Gohan willingly goes off to his death having realized he will die, though understands that Xeno Trunks' presence means that his death will not be in vain and that his student will defeat the Androids. Xeno Trunks returns to his Age 852, though Chronoa allows his meeting with Gohan to remain as part of Trunks' timeline out of consideration for Xeno Trunks and Future Gohan.
The final battle against the Time Breakers takes place on Earth in Age ??? of an unknown timeline that was conquered and tyrannically ruled by Towa and Mira.
In the Unknown History Saga, Towa's Distorted Time Eggs causes a natural time distortion that causes an alteration to the altered timeline of Age 780 of Trunks' timeline, as a result of Xeno Trunks' desire to save his master. As a result, Xeno Trunks chooses to defy the Supreme Kai of Time and joins his master in fighting the Androids. Fearing for his student's safety, Future Gohan is able to tap into some of his hidden power, allowing him to overcome the Androids with Xeno Trunks' assistance. This creates a new timeline were Future Gohan survived and Xeno Trunks chooses to remain with him and his younger self to defend it from future threats such as Future Cell, Future Majin Buu, and Future Dabura. The fate of this altered timeline is left unclear.

IGN awarded it a score of 7.5 out of 10, saying "Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 is an ambitious, if rough-edged experience, with deceptively deep RPG and brawling elements." Hardcore Gamer awarded it 3 out of 5, calling "a minimal improvement over its predecessor while sharing a lot of the same issues, but there’s just something so endearing about how it all came together."
Heidi Kemps of GameSpot awarded the game a 7 out of 10, praising the combat and fan service while criticizing the combat for being repetitive and the missions with a non-combat focus as "generally poor". Kyle Hilliard of Game Informer also awarded it a 7 out of 10, praising the addition of Conton City but criticized the combat system for being almost identical to the first Xenoverse game and the soundtrack as "consistently awful".
==Trivia==
*As with the first Xenoverse, there is no specific race for Androids, but the special Android abilities are available as learnable skills.
*There is a reference to Dragon Ball: Raging Blast when the Future Warrior is training with Goku on his instructor quest Lesson 3 after Goku is defeated, Goku will say with emphasis that the battle was a raging blast.
*Final Form Mira has special quotes with characters despite not being playable without the modification of the game's files. However it should be noted it is possible for special quotes to triggered mid-battle when certain characters (player controlled and ally NPCs) fight each other in certain modes such as Parallel Quests and Final Form Mira does appear as an enemy NPC in certain Expert Missions.
*There are many different hidden audio files, such as Goku Black originally being able to use the Kaio-ken and the Solar Flare. There are also lines that show Goten being able to wield the Power Pole.
*This is the second game in which Bardock and Future Gohan appear on the game cover, the first being Dragon Ball Z: Extreme Butōden and the PAL and Asian versions of Dragon Ball Z: Shin Budokai - Another Road, respectively.
*In a special dialog between Future Trunks and Pan, Trunks says "You're not the Trunks I know", where the correct quote would be "I'm not the Trunks you know". The mistake was present in Dragon Ball Xenoverse and has not been corrected.
*For unknown reasons, during the special dialogue Teen Gohan has with Bojack, the player can hear Adult Gohan's voice instead of Teen Gohan's.
*This is the last game which Chris Ayres voiced Frieza prior his death.
*Funnily, even though Become Giant can be used by Custom Namekian characters, Piccolo and Lord Slug, both of whom have appeared in the Giant states in the show, don't appear in the game in their respective giant forms at all.
*This is the last game Mr. Satan is called Hercule.
