Square Enix – DRAGON QUEST 35th Anniversary Special

Dragon Quest XII

Following the massive hit of the critically acclaimed Dragon Quest XI: Echoes of an Elusive Age and Dragon Quest XI S: Echoes of an Elusive Age – Definitive Edition, together the titles surpassed over 6.5 million copies worldwide, DRAGON QUEST XII is the newly announced mainline entry in the series.

Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake

In this latest visual iteration of Dragon Quest III, long-time fans and newcomers will be invited to experience this HD-2D version of Dragon Quest III that provides a unique three-dimensional feel by adding 3D effects to pixel-based backgrounds. Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake is planned for release on console.

Dragon Quest Treasures

A completely new spinoff from the Dragon Quest series, Dragon Quest Treasures explores the childhood of the siblings, Mia and Erik, from Dragon Quest XI: Echoes of an Elusive Age. As Mia and Erik, players will embark on an RPG treasure hunting adventure in another world before the events of Dragon Quest XI: Echoes of an Elusive Age.

Developed with NHN PlayArt, this title is a free-to-play mobile puzzle game for iOS and Android devices that will feature popular Dragon Quest series characters, monsters and items as erasers that are used to erase graffiti in the game.

I’d like to thank the fans who have always loved the Dragon Quest series and who have continued to support it throughout the years, along with the new players who are just beginning their journey in the world of Dragon Quest. I hope we can continue to celebrate the series for another 35 years to come!
