Dragon Quest is Headed Down Under – News

Ahead of its PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4 computer entertainment system launch in Japan this week, Square Enix just announced that Dragon Quest Heroes will be releasing in NZ and AUS in 2015.

The title will arrive in the form of a full-scale action RPG for the first time in the Dragon Quest series.

In Dragon Quest Heroes, players must rise up against insurmountable odds – challenging swarms of enemies and conquering gigantic monsters.

Dragon Quest Heroes hits PlayStation 4 in HD, with character and monster designs from Akira Toriyama. If you know his art from the rest of the series, you know what you’re getting here.
Yuji Horii, the guy who’s directed and created Dragon Quest since day one, is on this. So is Koichi Sugiyama, the composer who’s scored the series since the first instalment and whose tracks longtime fans can probably hum from memory. That’s not a marketing bullet point, that’s the actual creative team still showing up.

Furthermore, ω-Force (Omega Force) from KOEI TECMO GAMES, the team that has created numerous popular action game series, is also taking part in its development.

Dragon Quest Heroes is a title not only for Dragon Quest series fans, but also for gamers of all interests to enjoy.
