Fans of the iconic Dragon Quest series can breathe a sigh of relief as Yuji Horii, the creator behind the franchise, has confirmed that Dragon Quest 12: The Flames of Fate has not been canceled. Announced back in 2021 as part of the series' 35th anniversary celebration, Dragon Quest 12 marks the first mainline entry since the acclaimed Dragon Quest 11: Echoes of an Elusive Age released in 2017. Despite the silence that followed, the last update from Horii in February hinted that the development team at Square Enix was "working hard" and promised that information would trickle out gradually.
True to his word, there has been a period of quiet, but in a recent interview with Gamereactor, Horii once again addressed the project, reassuring fans that everything is still on track. "Yes, indeed, I can't say anything, I apologize," he stated. "I am making it, putting lots of work into it... I can only say that the next work will be great too, [I'm] working really hard. Please look forward to it is the only thing I can say." While this might not provide the concrete details like trailers or screenshots that fans crave, it should alleviate concerns about the game's future, especially amidst restructuring at Square Enix and a lack of updates.
In May 2024, Horii noted the deaths of Dragon Quest character designer Akira Toriyama and composer Koichi Sugiyama. Additionally, the series’ lead producer Yu Miyake had stepped down from his position to lead Square Enix’s mobile game division, which added to the uncertainty surrounding Dragon Quest 12. However, with Horii's latest comments, fans can continue to anticipate the next installment in this beloved series.
