Square Enix confirms Dragon Quest VII, VIII for western release

But stateside, the franchise has been more of a niche title, amassing a fan following due to its devotion to old-school RPG aesthetics, but never rising to the popularity level of one time competitor Final Fantasy. The 3DS version released in Japan 2013. It’s little wonder, then, that they’d try a similar tactic with another of their flagship franchises. It’s a darn good news for Dragon Quest fans indeed! It’s successor, Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King, originally came out for the PlayStation 2. The advertisement no longer appears, but the Internet has already caught on and the damage is done.

While Dragon Quest Heroes’ jump to PC comes as a complete surprise, Square Enix has published a great majority of its titles on the platform.

A Steam slip-up reveals that Dragon Quest’s hack-and-slash spin-off, Dragon Quest Heroes, is coming to the PC, but no official announcement has been made..

After initially releasing as a PS4 exclusive back on October 13th it’s surprising to see this announcement this early. As such, a price point and release date are also now unknown.
