Update (7/24): Bumped to the top. No real surprise here, but we have further proof that the announcement will be Dragon Quest XI. Square Enix’s press invite says the company will announce “the first main Dragon Quest title in three years”. There will also be details about other Dragon Quest titles, so if nothing else, hopefully we’ll hear more about Dragon Quest VIII and Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker 3.
This week’s issue of Jump teases the reveal of a new Dragon Quest game. Square Enix will be holding a presentation on July 28, and the company is expected to announce a new title in the series. The event will be live streamed online.
Jump says that its August 3 issue will have information about “that big title”. Based on what we know thus far, many people believe that an announcement about Dragon Quest XI is incoming.
Dragon Quest IX and Dragon Quest X were both on Nintendo platforms. If we will be hearing about Dragon Quest XI soon, it will be interesting to see if this one ends up on a Nintendo system as well.
