Japanese Role-Playing Games have found a home on Nintendo Switch for their niche titles and more child-friendly spinoffs. These include Chocobo GP, Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles, and that isn't mentioning the extreme backlog of titles available, which includes many of the Final Fantasy titles themselves.
Now the focus has turned to another beloved JRPG franchise by carving a new corner into the Dragon Quest world. Announced at the Nintendo Direct Mini alongside an official release statement, Dragon Quest: Treasures will release worldwide this year.
It looks like this game will be geared toward younger audiences based on the description, but be the judge yourself as you can take a look at all of the information included in the official press release below.
Press Release:
- Square Enix® today announced that the new RPG treasure hunting adventure DRAGON QUEST® TREASURES™ will launch worldwide for Nintendo Switch™ on December 9, 2022.
- A completely new spinoff from the DRAGON QUEST series, DRAGON QUEST TREASURES explores the childhood escapades of the siblings Erik and Mia, who first appeared in DRAGON QUEST XI: Echoes of an Elusive Age.
- Players will take control of Erik and Mia as they explore a treasure hunter’s paradise where boundless adventure awaits. Loot can be hidden in the most fiendishly inaccessible locations, so players must recruit a variety of well-meaning monsters and make use of their unique treasure-hunting abilities.
- These charming creatures will help players to race over open fields, scale cliffs with a single bound, and glide over gaping chasms.
