Yuji Horii: Dragon Quest 12 Details to Be Unveiled Gradually

Author : Blake Mar 28,2025

The highly anticipated Dragon Quest 12 is still in the works, with series creator Yuji Horii reassuring fans that information will be released "little by little." During a livestream with his radio show group KosoKoso Hōsō Kyoku, Horii shared that the development team at Square Enix is "working hard" on the game. This update marks the first news on Dragon Quest 12 since May 2024, when Horii had previously mentioned the passing of the series' character designer Akira Toriyama and composer Koichi Sugiyama. Additionally, the lead producer Yu Miyake had stepped down to head Square Enix's mobile game division by that time.

Amidst concerns from fans about potential cancellation due to restructuring at Square Enix and a lack of updates, Horii's recent comments provide reassurance that Dragon Quest 12 remains in development. Dragon Quest 12 was initially announced as part of the series' 35th anniversary celebration and is set to be the first mainline entry since Dragon Quest 11: Echoes of an Elusive Age, which was released in 2017.
