Yuji Horii Reveals Dragon Quest 12 Details to Be Unveiled Gradually

Author : Grace Apr 01,2025

Dragon Quest 12 remains in active development, with series creator Yuji Horii reassuring fans that information will be shared "little by little." During a livestream with his radio show group KosoKoso Hōsō Kyoku, Horii mentioned that the team at Square Enix is "working hard" on the project. This update marks the first news on Dragon Quest 12 since May 2024, when Horii had previously addressed the passing of the series' character designer Akira Toriyama and composer Koichi Sugiyama. At that time, the lead producer Yu Miyake had already transitioned to head Square Enix's mobile game division.

Amidst concerns from fans about potential cancellation due to restructuring at Square Enix and a lack of updates, Horii's recent comments provide reassurance that Dragon Quest 12 is still on track. Dragon Quest 12 was initially announced during the series' 35th anniversary celebration and is set to be the first mainline entry since Dragon Quest 11: Echoes of an Elusive Age, released in 2017.
