In 2016, an update launched that improved the user experience in the form of enhanced graphics and easier accessibility of characters.

The game's producer, Akai announced during an interview with V-Jump Editor, Victory Uchida that though Heroes arcades will no longer be in operation, Super Divers will contain a "Super Dragon Ball Heroes mode" allowing players to play its missions and use their existing cards while adjusting with the new system.

Dragon Ball Heroes: Victory Mission (ドラゴンボール ヒーローズ ビクトリーミッション), written and illustrated by Toyotarou, was serialized in Shueisha's V Jump magazine since November 2012.

It was put on hiatus, when Nagayama began his other series in the same magazine, until March 2017, when it was relaunched as Super Dragon Ball Heroes: Ultimate Charisma Mission!!

In May 2018, V Jump announced a promotional anime for Super Dragon Ball Heroes that will adapt the game's Prison Planet arc.

A teaser trailer for the first episode was released on June 21, 2018 and shows the new characters Fu (フュー, Fyū) and Kanbā (カンバー), an evil Saiyan.
