Sq. Enix is teasing some bulletins for the Dragon Quest franchise this 12 months as a part of the celebrated JRPG collection’ fortieth anniversary, and sure, it actually has been that lengthy for the reason that first sport was launched.
In a message on X (which is admittedly reasonably transient), Sq. Enix notes Dragon Quest’s anniversary and guarantees “varied bulletins in celebration” of the event, though we do not get rather more than that, sadly.
The writer stops in need of revealing after we can anticipate the primary of those bulletins, so in contrast to Atlus’ current Persona anniversary web site, there is no countdown or concrete date to sit up for, sadly.
After all, the one query in your thoughts proper now for those who’re a Dragon Quest fan might be whether or not Sq. Enix is planning to disclose extra details about the long-awaited subsequent installment within the collection, Dragon Quest XII.
The sport was initially introduced all the way in which again in 2021, at which level it had been 4 years for the reason that earlier mainline entry. Since then, virtually 5 extra years have passed by, so Dragon Quest followers have been ready a really very long time certainly for information of the collection’ future.
Naturally, Dragon Quest hasn’t been dormant in the mean time. A plethora of spinoffs have been launched, in addition to a lot of remakes of earlier video games within the collection. One other remake, Dragon Quest VII Reimagined, is scheduled to reach subsequent month.
In the event you’re in some way not aware of Dragon Quest, it is a collection of reasonably cozy JRPGs that revolve round conventional turn-based gameplay, overworld exploration, and dungeon-delving. It’s extremely a lot the consolation meals of the JRPG world (and I say that as a praise).
Regardless of that repute, collection producer Yuji Horii has promised an overhaul for the twelfth installment, pledging to shake up Dragon Quest’s fight and introduce “darkish, mature content material” to the franchise. We’ll have to attend and see if he and Sq. Enix make good on these guarantees.
