Update (7/27): Bumped to the top again. The logo for Dragon Quest XI has leaked, and you can see it below.

Since it’s unknown if Dragon Quest XI will be on Nintendo platforms or not, we’re pretty much just rounding up everything here. You can watch the reveal of the game at 4:00 AM ET / 1:00 AM ET tomorrow on YouTube.

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.

Square Enix’s latest update on Dragon Quest VIII sheds new light on the game’s camera features.

It will be possible to enter camera mode by hitting the start button. Players can then take photos of different scenes, all of which are saved to the SD card. Photos can also be taken with the character and your favorite party character.

Also detailed today are Dragon Quest VIII’s “Photos Quests”. When players visit the game’s town, they’ll come across the “Photographer Fort” NPC. He’ll give you his notebook of quests that can be checked at any time. There are quests in which players take pictures of rare items and monsters, along with famous locations. Also, some of these quests will earn you more stamps than others.

Square Enix prepared a second trailer for Dragon Quest VIII on 3DS. You can watch it if you’re in Japan. If you’re not, you’ll need to enter this URL on this page.

Square Enix naturally had to make things difficult. They’ve limited the trailer’s availability to those who reside in Japan. If you use that proxy link though, everything should be okay!

Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker 3 was revealed for 3DS in the latest issue of Jump. A higher-quality scan is attached above, and we also have a comment from series creator Yuji Horii.

Here’s what he shared with the magazine:

“For the latest Monsters, it’s Dragon Quest Monsters Joker 3, a completely new entry in the series after a while. For the current announcement, I only have an illustration of the hero and logo, as well as a mysterious creature (laughs), but in addition to new systems, new monsters, and new communications, we’re diligently developing the game with all sorts of stuff.”

Akira Toriyama designed the protagonist for Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker 3. Jump also shows Nochora, a mysterious creature that will appear in various scenes.
