What is “Dragon Quest Wars?” That’s a pretty good question! This would appear to be some sort of Dragon Quest spinoff, though nothing is known for sure yet. Instead of an RPG, Dragon Quest Wars may be focused around strategic elements. Square Enix filed for the trademark on April 23rd and it was approved on April 27th.
