Dragon Quest 12 announced | PC Gamer

May 27 is Dragon Quest Day and for the 35th anniversary of the series, Square Enix hosted a live broadcast showcasing Dragon Quest games currently in the works. It wasn’t a super exciting broadcast for us, with a mobile game, an update of an online game that won’t be released worldwide, a remake of Dragon Quest 3 that’s only coming to consoles, and a spin-off called Dragon Quest Treasures for unannounced platforms.

And then, the final announcement of the broadcast was a teaser that announced the next mainline game in the series—Dragon Quest 12: The Flames of Fate. The trailer, less than a minute long, showed the logo appearing in burning letters on cracked volcanic rock, and a voice asked in Japanese, “What is the purpose of life?”
