As previously revealed by producer Yuu Mikase that Dragon Quest XII preparations are under away, Square Enix revealed today that they are currently hiring for a battle planner, facial motion designer, 2D background designer, and a technical artist for its second development team for work on a new Dragon Quest project.
Here’s what director Takeshi Uchikawa has to say:
The Dragon Quest XI team within the Second Development Division has begun work a new project, starting up on a challenge unique to a Dragon Quest for the next generation.
The mission of this project is to “deliver a new appeal of Dragon Quest to fans worldwide.”
In order to achieve that, we are looking for new “party members” with the same desire.
The planning stages of development have wrapped up, and we are now entering the phase of further improving the game quality.
As a new high-definition Dragon Quest title, why not try to create a new Dragon Quest history that moves players like never before with Yuji Horii and the development team?
We await the applications of developers who love trying new things!
With the company hiring people for their next-gen Dragon Quest game, it could very well mean that Dragon Quest XII is indeed coming. We’ll let you know once Square Enix releases more information about DQXII.
For now, let’s all support the Switch release of Dragon Quest XI S this September.
