Yuji Horii, the creator of Dragon Quest, shared a message on the official Dragon Quest X website to ring in 2015. Horii touched on what’s planned for the franchise in the near and far future as Dragon Quest’s 30th anniversary approaches.
The message in full states:
Happy New Year, everyone. There is just one year to go until the 30th anniversary of Dragon Quest.
In February, we will release Dragon Quest Heroes, and in March, Theatrhythm Dragon Quest. Additionally, while still to be announced, there are many projects in planning as we head towards the 30th anniversary. And then there’s the release of Dragon Quest X Version 3.0 in the spring. Together alongside our fans and development staff, I hope we keep making the series even bigger and better!
Life is a role-playing game. Here’s to many more years to come of Dragon Quest!
Given that Dragon Quest’s 30th anniversary is next year, that could be when we hear about the series’ next core entry – Dragon Quest XI.
Undead Storm Nightmare, a sequel to the DSiWare title GO Series: Undead Storm, just released in Japan last month. Developer G-STYLE has since confirmed that the title will be released in North America ($4.99) later this month and Europe “shortly afterwords”.
Undead Storm Nightmare is a zombie-shooting action game with a top-down perspective. Players can level up various weapons and participate in local multiplayer with up to three others.

Update: Translation is below:
This just in! One of our senior research assistants just faxed over a fascinating new image. At first glance, this looks like a typical back alley, but word on the street is that it’s a favorite battleground for these crazy squids. Apparently it’s a popular place to hone one’s skills in one-on-one duels. If fact, it looks familiar for some reason…
As usual, we’ll add in Nintendo’s official translation when it’s available. It should come in shortly.
