Hi there, PlayStation.Blog readers! Dragon Quest Heroes launches in Japan tomorrow, so I thought now would be a good time to share an exciting announcement with you all — Dragon Quest Heroes is officially coming to the West!
That’s right! You read that correctly, the announcement is real — Dragon Quest Heroes will be coming out in North America in 2015, exclusively for PS4, and will be available as both a boxed retail release and digital download via PlayStation Store.
Dragon Quest Heroes marks the first time the series will be a full scale action-RPG, and it’s a ton of fun.
So here’s a little bit about the game itself. In Dragon Quest Heroes, the protagonists must rise up against insurmountable odds, challenging swarms of enemies and conquering gigantic monsters in an exhilarating action game. Filled with characters and monsters designed by world-renowned artist Akira Toriyama, Dragon Quest Heroes is brought to PS4 in beautiful HD.
Both Yuji Horii, the general director and creator of Dragon Quest, and Koichi Sugiyama, the composer closely tied to the series since its first installment, are closely involved in bringing this title to life.
Furthermore, ω-Force (Omega Force) from KOEI TECMO, the team that has created numerous popular action game series, is taking part in its development.
Dragon Quest Heroes is a game that Dragon Quest fans and gamers with all kinds of interests will enjoy.
We’ll have loads more details in the coming months, so be on the lookout for those updates. We hope you guys are as happy and hyped about this as we are!
Great News for DQ Fans!
Thank you SE an Sony for bringing this game, still have hopes for getting more DQ games in America.
I was holding up on getting a PS4 but definitely with this and other releases like MGS V, this IS the year. Hope for the Metal Slime edition to make it here as well :D
No PS3 version?
This just made my day. Dragon Quest still remains my favorite RPG series and I enjoy this style of gameplay to boot.
I got curious about this game, and looked up gameplay footage. All I can say is WOW! This game looks amazing, and looks to be challenging, but above all purely fun. Can’t wait to expand my collection to this, FF Type-0 and Mortal Kombat X! And of course, Rainbow Six Siege!
Finally!
An updated and NA Release of Dragon Quest!
Can’t preorder it yet though…
come on square enix, stop this nonesense, give us type 0 hd for vita, give us dragon quest XI for vita, give us FFXV already!!
Thank you very much
Hey Dan Seto, will a collector’s edition be available for pre-order? I would buy multiple copies.
Regular edition is up for pre-order at the square-enix store.
Will this be released on the PS3 in the West? Why not?
Game’s Definitely on my PS4 list along with Persona 5 and Omega Quintet :) Thanks, Squeenix! :) Looking forward to this!
