This year there is a lot to offer for Dragon Quest fans as the series is celebrating its 35th birthday and Square Enix is already planning the celebrations. A live stream on YouTube will start on May 27 at 5:30 a.m. and should be divided into two halves. The first part will be about news about current titles, along with new merchandise and much more. In part two, the inventor of the Dragon Quest series, Yuji Horii, will talk about a new offshoot in the Dragon Quest universe.
Speculations naturally revolve around the eagerly awaited Dragon Quest XII, which has been around since 2019 is in production, but it could also be a new offshoot of the Dragon Quest Builders series. A previously unknown spin-off cannot be ruled out either.
