Square Enix has announced that a new installment of the Dragon Quest Monsters RPG series is currently being developed for the Nintendo Switch. This popular series, which is celebrating its 25th anniversary, is a spin-off of the main Dragon Quest games and features gameplay mechanics similar to Pokemon, where players capture, breed, and battle with their monsters. Despite the popularity of the Dragon Quest franchise on the Nintendo Switch, there are currently no Dragon Quest Monsters titles available, except for the Japan-only release of Dragon Quest Monsters: Terry's Wonderland RETRO in 2019. However, with Square Enix's latest announcement, fans of the series can look forward to a new adventure on their beloved console.
Square Enix recently celebrated the 25th anniversary of Dragon Quest Monsters by releasing an official trailer that features footage from various Dragon Quest Monsters titles. The trailer also includes a clip from a Nintendo 3DS remake that was exclusively released in Japan. At the end of the trailer, Square Enix teases a new game and announces that a Dragon Quest Monsters title is in development for the Nintendo Switch. However, no additional information has been revealed apart from the trailer and the 25th-anniversary artwork.
With the number of titles currently in development at Square Enix, including Final Fantasy 16, Foamstars, and the HD-2D Remake of Dragon Quest 3, it's clear that the company is working hard to deliver quality games to fans. From classic titles and retro remakes to modern mainline games and spin-offs, there is no shortage of Dragon Quest games available for fans of all tastes to enjoy on the Nintendo Switch. However, there is one title in particular that fans are eagerly anticipating.
Fans of the Dragon Quest series have been eagerly anticipating the release of Dragon Quest 12: The Flames of Fate, but have been left in the dark about when they can expect more information. Despite the announcement of a new title in the series, Dragon Quest Monsters for the Nintendo Switch, fans are still eager to hear more about the next installment in the main series. The lack of updates from the developers has left many concerned about the game's progress.
