Square Enix hopes to keep Dragon Quest X going for a long time. Just how long? Well, according to Nikkei, the company has plans to release download content for the next ten years or so.
At the moment, Square Enix is working on a number of story quests. Also in the works are major version updates that are scheduled for release every ten weeks.
Nikkei says that Square Enix is looking to obtain mid to long term earnings expansion through Dragon Quest X.
Nintendo’s 2012 annual report has gone live. While it doesn’t contain a whole lot of interesting information, president Satoru Iwata did include a message to consumers. He discussed the Wii U, 3DS, Nintendo Network, and more.
We’ve posted the full message above.
Writer Paul Dini has worked on both Batman: Arkham Asylum and Arkham City. Following those two games, it seems that Dini is done with the series… for now anyway.
Earlier this week, Dini tweeted:
“Kinda hoped I’d be doing another Arkham game in London during the Olympics. Esp, as I had a good source for tx. Ah, well.”
This was a little bit unclear, so fans asked for clarification. Dini followed up by saying that although he isn’t working on any new Batman games currently, he’d be open to writing a third entry since he “loved writing the first two”.
In case you were wondering, Dini isn’t lending his hand to the rumored Silver Age Batman title either. In another tweet, he wrote:
“I didn’t know about it until I read about it, so we’re even.”
