Square Enix has officially unveiled plans for a milestone livestream in honor of the Dragon Quest franchise’s 40th anniversary. Taking place tomorrow, May 27—coinciding with the annual “Dragon Quest Day”—the broadcast promises a slate of fresh announcements for the storied RPG series.
Fans can tune into the 10-minute presentation on YouTube, which kicks off at 6:00 a.m. PT / 9:00 a.m. ET. While the exact contents remain under wraps, speculation is undoubtedly swirling around Dragon Quest XII: The Flames of Fate. Originally teased in 2021 during the series’ 35th anniversary, this highly anticipated mainline entry has remained notably silent, lacking even a tentative release window. Could this week’s event finally break the radio silence?
Square Enix has been active this year, already delivering Dragon Quest VII Reimagined and the mobile title Dragon Quest Smash/Grow. It is entirely possible that tomorrow’s showcase will offer post-launch support updates for these recent releases. Beyond that, the floor is wide open: could we see a surprise HD-2D remake, Dragon Quest Builders 3, or a quirky new spin-off? Share your predictions and your personal wishlists in the comments below.
