Square Enix finally evokes the highly anticipated remake of this cult Dragon Quest game, more than two years after its announcement. This is enough to reassure fans who are impatiently awaiting the game.
In a few weeks, players will be able to discover Dragon Quest Monsters: The Prince of Shadows. The game inspired by Pokemon should bring together fans, but certainly not as much as the next numbered episode, namely Dragon Quest 12. Unfortunately, this one still has no news since its announcement in May 2021. A long wait knowing that the eleventh opus is still more than six years old now. At least players might have another highly anticipated game to sink their teeth into between now and then.
The remake of this cult Dragon Quest is on track
When Dragon Quest 12 was announced in May 2021 on the occasion of the 35th anniversary of the license, Square Enix also revealed that a remake of Dragon Quest 3 was in preparation. A remake in HD-2D, a graphic style that has proven itself with Octopath Traveler and Triangle Strategy. Except that he hasn’t been talked about since then either. In an interview with Famitsu, series creator Yuji Horii finally gives news of the project, which is reportedly on the right track.
“ Development of the Dragon Quest 3 remake in HD-2D is progressing well. As for Dragon Quest 12, I can’t say much yet “. News that should reassure players who are impatiently awaiting this remake of the cult NES game. We imagine that it will be released before the twelfth opus, which would still represent a title of choice before the big piece supposed to revolutionize the license with its mature tone and its new combat system.
If you wanted to know more about the progress of Dragon Quest 12, you will have to be satisfied with this simple statement which does not really allow you to know where the development of the RPG is. The most optimistic will say that Yuji Horii does not want to say too much, because a big announcement may be coming while some should be rather worried. Last June, the Japanese was not much more reassuring to Japanese radio Denfaminicogamer. “ We are creating a game aimed at an adult audience, so we encounter a lot of difficulties. There was also the COVID-19 pandemic “, he declared. We therefore advise you to be patient, because Square Enix does not yet seem ready to talk about the project.
