Has it really been 40 years of Dragon Quest already? It’s quite humbling to learn that the franchise has been around longer than I have, and Square Enix might be squaring up (pun intended) to give us more of it in an upcoming update.
The company has announced a short stream, scheduled for May 27th, that might finally lift the curtain on Dragon Quest 12: The Flames of Fate, if statements from the series creator are any indication. It’s certainly good timing after that peek into Dragon Quest 7 Reimagined’s development that we got yesterday.
A new title is certainly welcome, and could build on the momentum that the recent remake, which we absolutely loved by the way, has garnered for the franchise. It’s about time that we get to play another one of the franchise’s grand adventures, after all, especially since it was announced five years ago with very few updates in between.
There are other events, including the launch of a special anniversary page and a livestream of the 40th anniversary celebration featuring Eiko Kano’s Critikano Hit, to look forward to. The update begins at 6 AM PT or 9 AM ET, so you might want to set an alarm if you’re planning on catching it.
