Square Enix's North American arm announced in Los Angeles on November 10 that a new Dragon Quest smartphone game, DRAGON QUEST RPG The Cursed Tree and the Chosen Isle, is in development, with a global release planned for 2027 (excluding certain regions) on iOS and Android.
The title is a classic turn-based RPG in which players explore a chosen isle, battle a cursed tree, and encounter the series' iconic monsters. Closed beta applications are open now through November 23, with 25,000 participants planned for a test running December 8 to 15; if applications exceed capacity, participants will be chosen by lottery.
Created by Yuji Horii, with character design by Akira Toriyama and music by Koichi Sugiyama, the Dragon Quest series debuted in Japan in 1986 and reached the United States in 1989 as Dragon Warrior. The series has shipped and sold more than 100 million units and marks its 40th anniversary this year.
