Square Enix unveiled the latest game in their classic JRPG franchise. Dragon Quest 12: Flames of Fate has officially made its presence known. The new Dragon Quest game made its debut during the series' 35th-anniversary celebration. It made an appearance during the 35th-anniversary livestream hosted by Square Enix.

Dragon Quest XI: Echoes of an Elusive Age did what could have been the best implementation of classic JRPG. Following it up with another classic JRPG might lead to some monotony. Therefore, it's encouraging that Dragon Quest 12 seems to be experimenting with new features and systems. “It's about having options,” says Dragon Quest creator Yuji Horii. “You have to choose your own way of how to play.” However, he didn't delve into details on how exactly Dragon Quest 12 will be different from other games in the series. He did confirm, though, that the game's battle system will receive some changes.

The announcement teaser was just that – an announcement that Dragon Quest 12 will be coming. There's no news about any release date, although the game will release simultaneously globally. This veers away from the series' usual practice of releasing in Japan first. Next, there's also no news on where the game will release on. While many would expect the game to release on next-gen consoles, it might still end up appearing on current-gen platforms. It can even come out on the Nintendo Switch just like its predecessor. However, with no official news to work on, all we can do for now is speculate about the new game.
