Square Enix announces Dragon Quest RPG for IOS and Android

gamingNov 9, 2026161,012

Dragon Quest RPG: The Cursed Tree and the Chosen Isle was announced as a new Dragon Quest game for IOS and Android with an announcement trailer set to premiere on November 10. Posts singled out the game title itself as a running joke, with many mocking how literal "Dragon Quest RPG" sounds while others noted the promise of a classic turn-based Dragon Quest experience. One early post identified WFS as the developer and suggested a 2027 release window, which has circulated alongside the trailer links. The moment centers on that premiere and the community puzzling over the straightforward name while hoping for familiar series mechanics.

Finally, a Dragon Quest that is an RPG!

The fact that they're calling it "RPG" makes me doubt that it is, in fact, an RPG.

This won’t just be any old slop, but a special entity known as slopslop.

Your “I’m an RPG” shirt has me asking questions about whether you are an RPG

"iOS/Android" > Probably loaded with gacha/microtransactions

Se llama Dragon Quest "RPG" porque a lo mejor te confundes y pensabas que era un juego de carreras de karts.

I do think that the current wave of end of service announcements for large mobile games is actually taking the wind out of any potential sails/sales Like sure, this might be fun, but how do I know it's still going in a year? How do I know a game I might spend money on will still exist?

SquareEnix mobile slop. Naw, I'll pass and wait for the eventually up port with better features.

Man, I've been wanting to get into dragon quest but I was scared because I had no idea what the genre is, thank GOD they told me

SQEX, masters of releasing mobile games that run forever in Japan and die in 2 years globally, they can't be trusted under even the most cynical conditions

Not sure if this was put out early by mistake (the trailer doesn't premiere for another nine hours), but WFS is the developer of Dragon Quest RPG for iOS and Android. Due out in 2027. Classic turn-based RPG: ssl4.eir-parts.net/doc/3632/ir_... Gematsu page: www.gematsu.com/games/dragon...

The fact that it feels the need to specify that it's an RPG in the TITLE OF THE GAME is deeply concerning.

internet scamp1

how many times are they going to learn the lesson that people don't want a mobile dragon quest game

You're right, Dragon Quest is already an RPG, and I shouldn't have proposed to innovate the franchise with a game that sounds like the others.
