Square Enix is currently “making the next” Dragon Quest, series creator Yuji Horii said at Niconico Super Conference 3 in Chiba.

He didn’t say whether it was Dragon Quest XI, but given that it’s a numbered series and the word “next” was used, we’re assuming that’s what he’s referring to.

However, when Horii made the comment, Dragon Quest X producer Yosuke Saito and chief planner Anzai Takashi looked as though they weren’t expecting him to say that, as if it might have been something he shouldn’t have said.

[ArchedThunder]

Hopefully we actually get this one.

 

[Mozendo]

I'm a happy slime.

 

[Tagg9]

Will temper expectations until platform is announced.

 

[Regulus Tera]

Guessing 3DS or mobile.

 

[AcademicSaucer]

I'm a happy slime.

Japan only F2P IOS game

 

[SolVanderlyn]

In production

Spoiler

for Japan only

 

[justchris]

Why am I not playing DQX right now?

 

[Faenix1]

Hopefully it's not MMO-esque and it is multiplatform. o.o

 

[ShogunDarius]

Ps4 BELIEVE

 

[Colonel Mustard]

It won't be either.

Mobile or 3DS is a lock.

 

[Zeppeli]

Wii U/3DS/Vita/PS3/PC

BELIEVE

 

[ZombiePlatypus]

Super excited but...

Where the hell is my DQX and DQVII3D SE!?

 

[Suzzopher]

Imagine if Microsoft have secured this as an X1 exclusive!

 

[Bishop89]

Dont they usually put it on the system which is market leader, which is why ps2 and wii got them? SE would being stupid to put it on wii u. My guess is ps4 exclusive or 3ds. Dont think they would gamble a new main entry for mobile

 

[Chesskid1]

will never be in english ;_;

 

[HeelPower]

Really hope this is accessible to all of us and is a multi platform release.

 

[ZombiePlatypus]

It won't be either.

Mobile or 3DS is a lock.

Hoping for the latter.

Can you imagine if they put out a Slime edition 3DS with it?

 

[Benzychenz]

HD console is the dream, though if it's 3DS it'll still be a day 1 buy.

 

[Fraxin]

Ps4 BELIEVE

Let's hope so. Given the mobile releases though, this might be the first numbered DQ released exclusively at phones. Might be F2P too.

 

[kurahador]

Pray it's not mobile.

Still waiting for X PC and VII 3DS...goddamit SE.

 

[watershed]

Not surprising at all. In fact it would be more surprising if it wasn't in production.

 

[Velcro Fly]

Day 1 if it gets released here

 

[Fraxin]

Really hope this is accessible to all of us and is a multi platform release.

When was DQ a multiplatform release? I remember it being exclusive when it launches.

 

[rpmurphy]

Nice news, but still waiting on X and VII remake localization.

 

[Augemitbutter]

we'll get this right after DQVII 3DS.

 

[bigboss370]

not surprised, saw an insider here mention something about dragon quest a while back.

 

[Draconian]

Ps4 BELIEVE

Why on earth would they make it for PS4?

Its sales in Japan have been lackluster and the production costs would skyrocket. There's no viable reason to choose it over something like the 3DS at this point in time.

 

[AcademicSaucer]

we'll get this right after DQVII 3DS.

[AniHawk]

Guessing 3DS or mobile.

they seem cool with really late system-life releases (dq vii, dqviii, dqx), so 3ds does seem possible. with the work they put on viii for mobile, it could be both, like how dqx was on pc and wii/wiiu.

PSVita doesn't seem to be doing bad lately.

 

[Sectorseven]

Can't really argue mobile is ill suited for it.

Spoiler

But you all will.

 

[Colonel Mustard]

PSVita doesn't seem to be doing bad lately.

Why do you guys do this to yourselves?

 

[Draconian]

PSVita doesn't seem to be doing bad lately.

It's about as likely as it coming to PS4.

 

[sörine]

When was DQ a multiplatform release? I remember it being exclusive when it launches.

Not counting later remakes, Dragon Quests I, II and X were all essentially multiplatform between consoles and computers in their day.

PSVita doesn't seem to be doing bad lately.

Vita's doing pretty terrible in terms of SE support though. It can't even get KH, there's no way it's getting DQ.

 

[Boss Mog]

I want it on PS4. I would settle for it on PS3. It will be on 3DS (-_-)

 

[Soriku]

Would like it for PS4.

It's going to be on 3DS.

 

[sprsk]

I hear it's coming out exclusively for iQue.

 

[matm666]

I dont speak Japanese so I dont give shit.

 

[KiraXD]

DQ hasnt been relevant since VIII, at this point id bet on seeing Blue Dragon 2 on XB1 (or consoles) before a new DQ on Consoles (one that isnt handheld or mobile) (and yes i know theyre different developers and dont have anything to do with each other... im just saying...)

 

[Orniletter]

There is no way it won´t come to the 3DS, the remakes sold really well on it.

I could see a multiplat release ...maybe ?... but no way in hell will Enix pay for a HD game built from the ground up for PS4 .

You guys better tamper your expectations.

So handheld games are irrelevant now ?

 

[Frolow]

Most likely 3DS. But knowing Square Enix they'll put it on Mobile.

 

[TaiKH92]

Pls make another game like Dragon Quest VIII for a non-handheld (PS3 or PS4), DQVIII is one of my favorite games ever (if not my favorite).

 

[soul]

Please not mobile.

well dragon quest ix was the best-selling one in the series so i don't know about that.

Vita's doing pretty terrible in terms of SE support though. It can't even get KH, there's no way it's getting DQ.

Not sure about I and II, however, X was exclusive for the Wii when it launched, then it was ported.

I'd just like them to re-release it. I have a PS3 with no BC. A Vita port would be so nice...

 

[ArchedThunder]

I guess all the people worried about mobile aren't quite up to date on DQ news.
Dragon Quest XI probably won't be for smartphones

 

[Colonel Mustard]

Not sure about I and II, however, X was exclusive for the Wii when it launched, then it was ported.

Let's not pretend X was a standard Dragon Quest game. It was ported to Wii U and PC. Kinda have to have a PC version of an MMO to be successful.
