New Dragon Quest Mobile Game Announcement Set for September 17

Square Enix has confirmed that a brand-new Dragon Quest title is on its way to mobile devices. A teaser trailer will premiere on the official Dragon Quest YouTube channel this Wednesday, September 17, 9 PM MYT.

A Surprise Mobile Entry

Dragon Quest has long been one of Square Enix’s most iconic RPG franchises, with its roots stretching back nearly four decades. While the series is best known for its mainline console and PC releases, it has also seen success on mobile platforms with ports of earlier entries and spin-offs designed for handheld play. This new announcement marks the next step in expanding Dragon Quest’s presence on smartphones and tablets.

What We Know So Far

Details remain tightly under wraps. Square Enix has not yet revealed whether the project will be a brand-new RPG, a spin-off featuring familiar characters, or an adaptation of an existing game tailored for mobile. The official teaser trailer should provide the first clues about the game’s setting, mechanics, and overall direction.

Fans are especially curious whether the project will adopt the traditional turn-based combat and sweeping narratives the series is famous for, or if it will lean into shorter, more accessible gameplay suited for mobile audiences. The publisher has experimented with both approaches in the past, from mobile-optimized versions of Dragon Quest VIII to spin-offs like Dragon Quest Tact.

Where to Watch

The teaser will debut on the official Dragon Quest YouTube channel on September 17. Square Enix has encouraged fans worldwide to tune in and be among the first to see what’s next for the franchise.

A Growing Legacy

With Dragon Quest XII: The Flames of Fate still in development for consoles, this new mobile entry shows Square Enix’s commitment to expanding the series across different platforms. Whether it turns out to be a full-fledged RPG or a smaller spin-off, the announcement is certain to excite long-time fans and newcomers alike.
