Horii: Dragon Quest X “not that far out”
Posted on 14 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 2 Comments
This information comes from Dragon Quest father, Yuji Horii…
“There is not much I can say at this time about Dragon Quest X. I am sorry. But it’s not that far out.”
Remember this picture? It’s from way back in December 2008, when Dragon Quest X was announced for Wii. Since then, we’ve barely heard a peep about the game. But based on what Horii said, it sounds like the title will be resurfacing in the near future. Perhaps it’ll make an appearance at TGS.
