Dragon Quest Series Executive Producer Steps Down After Dragon Quest XII Delays

According to a recent Bloomberg report, Dragon Quest series executive producer Yu Miyake will be stepping down from overseeing Dragon Quest titles. According to the report, this change comes after a series of delays which affected the upcoming installment Dragon Quest XII: The Flames of Fate. Additionally, according to the report, Yu Miyake will now lead Square Enix‘s smartphone games. Dragon Quest XII: The Flames of Fate is currently in development. A release date has still yet to be announced, but a worldwide release is planned. According to Dragon Quest game designer Yuji Horii, Dragon Quest XII: The Flames of Fate will feature darker content, and will force players to make various difficult decisions.

Details for the latest Dragon Quest game, Dragon Quest Monsters: The Dark Prince via the publisher:

Journey into a fantastical world on a quest for revenge in Dragon Quest Monsters: The Dark Prince.

Psaro is cursed and is unable to harm anything with monster blood. Now, he must become a Monster Wrangler to create an army for battle.

The hunt for high-ranked monsters takes Psaro through the ever-changing seasons of Nadiria and its unique environments, with rivers of bubbling lava, mysterious ancient ruins, and soaring towers of cake. Along the way, Psaro meets the kind-hearted elf, Rose, who joins his adventure to seek out ever-stronger monsters.

The key to Psaro’s success lies with synthesis: the ability to combine two monsters and create a stronger offspring. Each new creation brings Psaro one step closer to his goal of becoming the Master of Monsterkind.

 

Dragon Quest Monsters: The Dark Prince gives players the power to command and recruit various types of monsters to join them on an epic new adventure.

Dragon Quest Monsters: The Dark Prince features Psaro, the demon prince, whose curse prevents him from harming monsters. As a result, he must become a Monster Wrangler, recruiting, and fighting alongside monsters throughout the various environments of the fantastical world of Nadiria. Over the course of this adventure, the seasons will regularly cycle through Spring, Summer, Winter, and Fall, which not only changes the landscape, but also opens new areas and players will encounter different monsters specific to that season.

One of the most powerful tools in the player arsenal is the newly evolved synthesis system which allows players to create completely new monsters by combining those already on their roster. Players can experiment and eventually unlock over 500 monsters, including franchise favorites, dark lords, and completely new creatures. Once players have assembled their dream roster, they can take their teams of powerful monsters online, to battle against other Monster Wranglers around the world.
