Today Square Enix put up a teaser campaign on the Dragon Quest Heroes site in Japan asking fans to click and kill 100 slimes at a time to unlock a major announcement with 10 million kills. After 10 million kills, they released the teaser announcement that Dragon Quest Heroes 2 was in development for PS3, PS4, and Vita. Is this an April Fool's joke? I don't think so because it would be a really dumb "joke" to announce the sequel to a popular new game which people are anticipating more of just to go "kidding!".
Update: After April 1st ended at midnight, the site has updated thanking everyone for participating in the successful campaign. There is no announcement that it was a joke. We'll see what happens tomorrow.
Update2: They updated the total slime kill score for all of April 1st, and then up the minigame back up for everyone to play. It still has the teaser announcement, so it definitely doesn't seem like any sort of gag.
