In case you don't already know, there's a 35th anniversary event for Dragon Quest this week — and it's going to be streamed in English as well as Japanese. Square Enix is making a big deal out of it, having already promised important news with regards to the classic RPG series.
And now, Dragon Quest creator Yuji Horii is bringing the hype. On Twitter, Horii wrote: "In gratitude for all your support so far, we’ll have plenty to announce. And of course, we’ll have more on that game as well… Please look forward to it, everyone!" (Thanks Siliconera for the translation.)
The expectations are really starting to add up, especially with Horii specifically mentioning "that game". We assume that a reveal of Dragon Quest XII is all but guaranteed at this point.
The event itself will take place at an awkward time here in Europe — but we'll be staying up in order to bring you coverage here on Push Square. You can find quick time zone reminders below.
- US
- Wednesday 26th May, 8:30PM PT / 11:30PM ET
- Europe
- Thursday 27th May, 4:30AM BST / 5:30AM CEST
Will you be tuning in for some Dragon Quest goodness? Hope that the event lives up to the hype in the comments section below.

I really liked DQ11 therefore I'd really love an announcement of DQ12
That game being dragon quest 10 with improved graphics and turned into a single player game? Fingers crossed
Not going to set my expectations too high to avoid disappointment. I'm doubtful it will be an announcement for DQ12 tbh but you never know.
DQ 12 to build off what worked in 11 but with better music and some decent editing would be great, thanks! DQ11 was great, but got a bit long in the tooth after the first 100 hours.
Id like them to drop a remaster of 8 on the PS4/5 too.
Square are knocking it out of the park at the moment
Fabulous darling!
Can't wait. Love DQXI and the next one is definitely in my top 3 most anticipated games right now.
It's probably the dragon quest adventure of dai game announced last year hopefully we will see some gameplay
So hyped! Shame it's at such an early time else I'd watch it live.
There’s 12 leaves in the 35th anniversary logo. The leaves look like Yggdrasil leaves. I’ve read someone mention about 12 slimes in one of the images and that the stream is at 12 JST. It will probably be XII, but not too long now to find out, on Dragon Quest day.
Whatever it turns out to be, it’ll still be amazing when that grand opening music plays.
DQ11 was ♥️. I'd be so happy with an announcement for 12
All I want is a Dragon Quest 8 Remaster, using 11's game engine.
I would love a remake of Dragon Quest IX. I loved it on the DS and I think it would be awesome on a next gen system.
Hi there fellow gamers.
So many jrpgs news are coming out.
This is great. Dragon Quest XI was awesome, can´t wait for the next entry.
So many big games, so little time to fully enjoy them.
Cheers, stay safe folks and happy gaming to us all
