Hush hush

The game, which is being developed by Square Enix themselves, is all still very very hush hush, but here’s what Dragon Quest series creator/ game designer Yuji Horii hat to note;.

Are we allowed to say what hardware? Once you say hardware and such, it’s basically given away… Whether it’s an app or what hardware it’s on really shouldn’t be brought up.

Up until now, The Adventure of Dai never really had its own game to speak of, which is a bit weird considering that Dragon Quest is primarily a gaming franchise. And even more when you think  about how big of a hit the original manga was.

Released back in 1989, The Adventure of Dai was featured in Weekly Shounen Jump until 1996. During that time, it sold more than 47 million copies of the manga. Put simply, The Adventure of Dai was a huge hit, even by normal Dragon Quest standards.

And while Dai recently appeared in Jump Force, having a proper standalone game to tell his story seems very much overdue to say the least.
