Dragon Quest 12 Information to Be Revealed 'Little by Little,' Series Creator Yuji Horii Says
Dragon Quest XII remains in development, with series creator Yuji Horii confirming that information will be revealed gradually. During a recent livestream with his radio show group, KosoKoso Hōsō Kyoku, Horii stated that the Square Enix development team is diligently working on the project.
This update follows a May 2024 announcement acknowledging the passing of Dragon Quest character designer Akira Toriyama and composer Koichi Sugiyama, and the departure of lead producer Yu Miyake to head Square Enix's mobile game division. Previous concerns regarding the game's potential cancellation, fueled by Square Enix restructuring and a lack of updates, seem to be allayed by Horii's recent comments.

Announced as part of the series' 35th-anniversary celebration, Dragon Quest XII will be the first mainline entry since 2017's Dragon Quest XI: Echoes of an Elusive Age. Square Enix has since reported that Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake surpassed sales expectations, selling over 2 million copies.
