The remake will be a great way for newcomers to play the game for the first time, or longtime fans to experience the title in a fresh coat of paint. Regardless, hearing of a brand new Dragon Quest game is exciting. It is also unclear which consoles it will be coming to at this time. He pointed out that while they can’t give us a release date yet, they are aiming for a worldwide release. He also hinted at the possibility that the game could be taking a more mature approach. He mentioned that they would be making changes to the game’s battle system and it’s “commands”. We only got to see a brief intro with the game’s logo but the creator went on to say that things would be changing a bit. This will be the newest entry in the franchise. The game’s full title is Dragon Quest XII: Flames of Fate. There were quite a lot of titles (including Dragon Quest XII) and announcements during the presentation, so this is certainly an exciting time for Dragon Quest fans. May 27th marked Dragon Quest’s 35th anniversary and to celebrate, Square Enix did a live anniversary special.
