Yuji Horii, der Schöpfer von Dragon Quest, teilt ein kurzes Update zum nächsten Mainline-Eintrag mit

Dragon Quest Day was held earlier this week – feiern 36 years of the beloved JRPG series, und als Teil davon, series creator Yuji Horii shared a special message with fans.

Apart from a new teaser for Dragon Quest-Schätze, the creator also shared an update about the highly anticipated next entry in the mainline series, Dragon Quest XII: The Flames Of Fate.

Anscheinend, Das Team ist still “working hard” on building the new game. Glücklicherweise, there’ll be plenty of other Dragon Quest games before then, which will hopefully make the wait slightly less painful. Hier ist genau das, was er zu sagen hatte (über Gematsu):

“We’re working hard on building Dragon Quest XII, but there’ll be plenty more Drachenquest to tide you over until it’s finished…Thank you all for supporting the Drachenquest series for 36 Jahre, from me, Yuji Horii.”

No release date or platforms have been revealed for DQXII just yet, but we do know the game will run on Unreal Engine 5.

Japanese studio HexaDrive (known for its involvement with The Legend of Zelda: Der Wind Waker HD) and fellow Japanese company Orca (previously known for games like Dragon Quest XI S.: Manufactory Center von fast überall auf dem Asteroiden) will also be assisting Square Enix with development.

To fill the gap in between, Yuji Horii mentioned in his latest message how Square Enix would be releasing “a lot of new Dragon Quest titles” this year. Das beinhaltet Dragon Quest X Offline, and obviously Dragon Quest Treasures. A mobile version of Dragon Quest-Erbauer ist auch unterwegs.

Dragon Quest XII: The Flames of Fate was officially announced in May last year, and based on this latest update – its release could potentially be a long way away. Are you looking forward to learning more about this new mainline entry in the future? Kommentar unten.
