Who wants more Dragon Quest spin-offs? We want more Dragon Quest spin-offs!
Yes, on 9th December, Square Enix is set to launch Dragon Quest Treasures. The game stars Dragon Quest XI‘s Erik and Mia – well, young versions of the pair to be exact – and takes place in the mysterious land of Draconia. Expect to be racing over open fields, scaling cliffs, and gliding over gaping chasms to search for that titular treasure.
Erik and his sister Mia live on a Viking longship, dreaming of the day they can explore the world in search of grand treasure. One night they encounter a pair of otherworldly creatures, Porcus and Purrsula, and are whisked away to a mysterious place known as Draconia – a legendary land full of treasures just waiting to be discovered. The adventure Erik and Mia have always dreamed of is finally underway!
An HD remaster of Final Fantasy VII‘s prequel, Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII Reunion lands on Switch on 13th December.
This new remaster includes all new HD graphics, renewed 3D models, an improved battle system, fully voiced dialogue in English and Japanese, as well as a newly arranged soundtrack from the original composer, Takeharu Ishimoto. You can relive Zack Fair’s tale and learn all about his connection to Final Fantasy star Cloud below.
Nintendo’s next major release comes in the form of Fire Emblem Engage, which is heading our way on 20th January.
This next game in the series has you taking to the battlefield and summoning Emblems – including Marth, Celica and other heroes from past titles – who dwell within special Emblem Rings. By wearing these rings, you can borrow the power of these famous faces, boosting your stats or granting access to even stronger abilities. We’re sure Fire Emblem Three Houses fans will be eagerly awaiting this one.
