Doesn’t it feel like Dragon Quest X was announced ages ago? It was first revealed in 2008, but we’ve barely heard anything about the project. Yuji Horii has said in the past that the title is still on track for Wii, though wouldn’t share any additional information.
Fortunately, the latest issue of Nintendo Power contains a much anticipated status update about the game. Horii told the magazine that the development team is actually finishing “last parts of the game.” Additionally, Square Enix will be making an announcement about Dragon Quest X later this year.
“The next Dragon Quest game, Dragon Quest X, will actually be released on Wii. I feel that some users will want to play Dragon Quest on the big screen, which is why we are working toward releasing it on Wii. Of course, in the future we might develop on handhelds again, so it’s really a case-by-case basis. It all depends on what the customer wants at that time. Something else we hear is that players want a new Dragon Quest that follows the same system of Dragon Quest VIII, so that’s something else we’re taking into consideration while in development for a Dragon Quest on Wii… All we can say is that development is going well and we’re on the last parts of the game. We can’t really share much else at this point, but by the end of this year we should be able to announce something regarding it.”
