Square Enix Hiring Positions For New Dragon Quest Title

Recently, Dragon Quest creator Yuji Horii and series executive producer Yuu Miyake were confirmed to have started the planning stages of the next mainline Dragon Quest title. Now, it seems as though Square Enix is gearing up for the next phase in the project as it seems as though they’re hiring to fill a number of positions for the new title.

The Japanese Square Enix page has a message for any would-be future employees revealing some small plans for the future of the series. You can check out the message from director Takeshi Uchikawa below:

The Dragon Quest XI team within the Second Development Division has begun work a new project, starting up on a challenge unique to a Dragon Quest for the next generation.

The mission of this project is to “deliver a new appeal of Dragon Quest to fans worldwide.”

In order to achieve that, we are looking for new “party members” with the same desire.

The planning stages of development have wrapped up, and we are now entering the phase of further improving the game quality.

As a new high-definition Dragon Quest title, why not try to create a new Dragon Quest history that moves players like never before with Yuji Horii and the development team?

We await the applications of developers who love trying new things!

The positions needed for the new project include a battle planner, 2D background designer, facial motion designer and technical artist. While we still don’t have any confirmation claiming that this new project is indeed the next DQ title, it seems incredibly likely considering the new title will be for next-gen systems.
