Dragon Quest 12 Information to Be Revealed ‘Little by Little,’ Series Creator Yuji Horii Says

Dragon Quest 12 is still in development and information will be released “little by little,” series creator Yuji Horii has said.

As reported by Automaton, Horii said the development team at Square Enix is “working hard” on Dragon Quest 12, while on a livestream with his radio show group KosoKoso Hōsō Kyoku.

It’s the first update on the game since May 2024, when Horii noted the deaths of Dragon Quest character designer Akira Toriyama and composer Koichi Sugiyama. The series’ lead producer Yu Miyake had by that point already stepped down from his position to lead Square Enix’s mobile game division.

Fans had expressed concern that Dragon Quest 12 might have been canceled amid restructuring at Square Enix and a lack up updates, but Horii’s latest comments appear to confirm the game is still in the works.
