Dragon Quest 12 Game Video Released! A Fresh Start with a Modified Production System
Wednesday, May 27, 2026 marks the 40th anniversary of the birth of Dragon Quest.
On this anniversary, the latest video for Dragon Quest XII: Beyond Dreams was released during the Dragon Quest Announcement program featuring game designer Yuji Horii (@YujiHorii) and executive producer Yosuke Saito (@SaitoYosuke_Z)!
This title was announced in 2021 as DRAGON QUEST XII: The Flames of Fate, but the production system underwent a review, leading to the changes in the subtitle and logo.
In the released video, the appearance of the protagonist and some characters can be confirmed.
Furthermore, Horii hinted at the world view, stating, "What lies beyond dreams? Surely not a world of darkness, but a bright and exciting future."
Additionally, the character design is handled by the late Akira Toriyama, and the music is also handled by the late Koichi Sugiyama, making it content that long-time fans will likely enjoy!
