Dragon Quest game designer Yuji Horii commented on a potential Dragon Quest XII during a panel at the computer entertainment developers conference CEDEC + KYUSHU 2018 on December 1.
Level-5 president and CEO Akihiro Hino, who moderated the panel, asked Horii, “How is the 12th entry going?”
Horii responded, “I actually already came up with the keywords, but I can’t say anything here. (Laughs.)”
The game designer added, “However, since Dragon Quest XI‘s scenario was well-received, this time I want the same reception for the gameplay systems, but I could also surprise everyone and make it an epic. Now I just feel like teasing everyone. (Laughs.).”
Furthermore, Horii said, “I keep absentmindedly thinking about making the theme the feeling of ‘wanting to make dreams come true.'”
