During the Nico Nico Chokaigi 3 event currently being held at the Makuhari Messe in Chiba, near Tokyo, Square Enix livestreamed a special episode of the “Dragon Quest X Ultra Coliseum Tournament in Astoltia (More or Less) Playoff of the Strongest” with the series’ Creative Director Yuji Horii, that let slip that the next game of the series is currently being developed.

The original Dragon Quest was developed with a team of less than 10 people.

Horii thanks staff and fans as he’s awarded Order of the Rising Sun.

Dragon Quest XI S has sold over 8.5 million units worldwide, becoming the best-selling game in the franchise.
When I played this game I was in disbelief that I had somehow not played this franchise. I absolutely adored this game, and have since played two other entries. Been saving the two on 3ds. Next entry is easily a day one purchase.
Good. Prefer 4-7 with DS & PS1 graphic though, modest yet stimulating imagination.
Only DQ game i've ever played and one of the best games I've ever played , such a great experience . I wonder if the original ps4 release was included in these sales
Cool!!!! I can't wait!!!!!
What systems/platforms will this version be made for? Anyone know?
Definitely going to be 3DS exclusive if history is to be our guide.
Wish it was on Vita
Oh fun more DQ is always a good thing. Shame it does seem like X won't see the light outside of Japan :(
Though it is up in the air as far as what it'll go on system wise. Turn based rpgs seem like you can only find them on handhelds these days so probably 3DS but if they want it on a console PS4 seems to be the likely as the WiiU isn't the big leader as the Wii was and Dragon Quest always goes to the system doing the best at the given moment.
If it does go to the PS4 don't expect any new updates in graphics though as I do believe they said they reached the graphical point they want out of the series way back on VIII.
