A recent post by a Dragon Quest producer has fans excited. Dragon Quest XI: Echoes of an Elusive Age producer Yosuke Saito made a brief post on X, following the conclusion of a recording session. While he doesn’t say what the recording session was for, Saito concluded that he’d eventually share a full announcement once he’s given the okay.

“We had a fun recording session at work. It was a long one, but it was fun. I’ll let you know when I get the OK to make an announcement!”

Fans have speculated that the post eludes to the next game in the Dragon Quest franchise Dragon Quest XII: The Flames of Fate. The previous title, Dragon Quest XI was first teased in 2015 before eventually launching in 2017. Dragon Quest XII: The Flames of Fate was announced in 2021.

Not much is known about the long-awaited game since its announcement besides that the game will run on Unreal Engine 5. That said Yuki Horii, the creator of Dragon Quest, did hint that XII would be “darker” than previous games in the series.

The latest News on the game came in April 2023 when its logo was updated.
