Not much was said about this upcoming title, but we do know that it's a puzzle game for iOS and Android. It releases sometime in Japan during 2021. The overseas release is TBA.

Dragon Quest Online started in 2012 and is currently in Version 5. Today we learned that the Version 5 chapter is wrapping up this summer and will lead to Version 6. It releases sometime in 2021.

An offline version of Dragon Quest 10 Online is also on its way. Hopefully, this will allow more people to enjoy this popular title.

An HD-2D remake for Dragon Quest 3 is in the making! It utilizes the special 2D art style in a 3D space that we've seen with Octopath Traveler and Project Triangle Strategy. It looks beautiful and we can't wait to check it out. No release date or platforms have been given yet.

Erik and Mia from Dragon Quest XI S take front and center in this game as it focuses on their childhood and treasure hunting. It's an RPG, "but nothing at all like a traditional one". It will have a worldwide release, but the platforms and dates are as yet undecided.

We got to see a short teaser for the previously unannounced Dragon Quest 12: The Flames of Fate. According to Yuji Horii, the creator of Dragon Quest, players will need to make decisions that can affect the progression of the game. Sounds like some changes are being made to the battle style as well. The developers want to aim for a worldwide release, but the platforms and release date have not been decided yet.

If you haven't played the latest game in the franchise, you definitely should check out Dragon Quest XI S. It's currently available on Nintendo Switch, PS4, Xbox One, Windows, and Google Stadia.
