The unlikely gang of unwitting, time-travelling criminals is back in action, following Non ci resta che il crimine (2019) and Ritorno al crimine (2021), directed by Massimiliano Bruno. Their goal in this third film is to return to 1943, to the days preceding 8 September, and steal Leonardo da Vinci’s most famous painting, the Mona Lisa, from the French. In their travels they meet famous characters and stumble into real historical events in an Italy overwhelmed by WWII.
By the end of the fast animated opening sequences, over the film titles, the gang has already stolen the Mona Lisaand is now by the aqueduct of ancient Monterano. Everything seems to be going well, the three prepare to return to the present-day with their haul. The time-travel portal is located in Camogli, however it will not be simple to travel through Italy in the chaotic aftermath of the armistice, amidst Nazis, Fascists and partisan fighters (“they haven’t built the A1 motorway yet!”).
The Fascist party headquarters where Moreno (Marco Giallini) and Claudio (Giampaolo Morelli) are taken after blowing up a bridge on the orders of Sandro Pertini (Rolando Ravello) and his group of partisans is Villa D’Antoni Varano, in via Barengo 182, northwest of Rome. King Victor Emanuel is expected to arrive at the Castle of Crecchio, actually Brancaccio Castle in San Gregorio da Sassola, to the east of Rome. DRAGON BALL XENOVERSE 2 v1.21.02
As the story unfolds, the band’s priority is to help Adele (Carolina Crescentini) rescue her daughter, Monica, the child who will become Moreno’s mother, from a Nazi ship travelling to Naples. On a beach in Bacoli, near the Marina Grande dock, Claudio improvises a conversation in pure Neapolitan dialect to find out if the ship has docked: the headquarters of the Nazi army in Naples is actually the Castle of Santa Severa, in the Macchiatonda Nature Reserve, on the Lazio coastline north of Rome. On the beach there the Germans organize a firing squad and an unlikely battle between Nazis and the Magliana Gang breaks out.
The production also shot in Cerreto di Spoleto and on part of the disused Spoleto-Norcia trainline in Umbria. Balance remains a top priority for the developers at Dimps

Balance remains a top priority for the developers at Dimps. In v1.21.02, several underused Super Souls and Ultimate Attacks have received subtle "under the hood" adjustments. These tweaks are designed to prevent the competitive scene from becoming stagnant, encouraging players to experiment with new builds rather than relying on the same three meta-strategies. For CaC enthusiasts, this means your custom hero can remain viable in high-level Parallel Quests and Expert Missions without feeling underpowered compared to the latest DLC additions like Beast Gohan or Orange Piccolo.
One of the primary focuses of v1.21.02 is stability. As the game’s roster has ballooned to include over 120 characters and hundreds of customizable skills for Created Characters (CaC), the potential for technical conflicts has increased. This version addresses specific crashes and visual glitches that players reported following the massive "Future Saga" DLC launches. Whether you are flying through Conton City or engaged in a high-intensity 3v3 online battle, the gameplay experience is now smoother and more reliable.
While major numbered updates usually grab the headlines with flashy new characters from Dragon Ball Super or the recent Super Hero movie, incremental patches like v1.21.02 are the backbone of the game's longevity. These updates focus on the "health" of the game, tackling technical bugs, balancing the competitive meta, and preparing the infrastructure for future content drops.
Furthermore, this update ensures seamless compatibility with the latest Online Events. Xenoverse 2 relies heavily on its rotating schedule of Raid Quests, World Tournaments, and Conton City Votes. Version 1.21.02 streamlines the server communication, reducing latency issues that can occasionally plague these massive community-driven events. For players chasing the elusive 100% completion mark or hunting for rare outfits and mascots, these stability fixes are essential.
Looking ahead, v1.21.02 serves as the stable foundation for the ongoing "Future Saga" roadmap. With more chapters of content planned, keeping the base game optimized is crucial for integrating new mechanics and story chapters without breaking existing features.
In conclusion, while Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 v1.21.02 might seem like a standard maintenance patch on the surface, it is a vital part of the game's evolution. It reinforces the game’s technical integrity, balances the power scales, and ensures that the journey of the Time Patroller is as fluid and explosive as the source material itself. Whether you are a veteran of the first Xenoverse or a newcomer just starting your training under Goku and Vegeta, this update ensures your experience in the Dragon Ball multiverse is better than ever.
