Square Enix confirms during the Jump Festa 2020 the development of a video game based on the Dragon Quest: The Adventure of Dai manga.
During the Jump Festa 2020, Square Enix announced a new project based on Dragon Quest: The Adventure of Dai, the famous weekly manga published from 1989 to 1996, whose sales reached more than 47 million copies. No less than 23 years have passed.
As far as we are concerned, we know that Ryutaro Ichimura is in production, who has already worked in the same position in other installments such as Dragon Quest: The World Tree's Woe and the Blight Below, Dragon Quest IX: Sentries of the Firmament and Dragon Quest VIII: The journey of the Cursed King, among others. It is part of the internal developments of the Japanese company itself. Alongside the news in the video game, Toei Animation also revealed the development of a new anime of the brand that will arrive at some point in the final stretch of 2020.
At the moment the platforms to which it will arrive are unknown, if it is intended for mobile, desktop systems or both, as well as its launch framework. In any case, you can take a look at their first teaser trailer below:
Echoes of a lost past, the last delivery received in the West
Within our borders, the last delivery we have received corresponds to the eleventh, Echoes of a Lost Past. After its beginnings last 2018 on PlayStation 4 and PC, this year we received its final edition, exclusive for the moment for Nintendo Switch. In our Reviews, we said that this package "adds content to complete an already refined canvas." "The parallel missions of our partners do not go beyond anecdote, while the plot and challenges in 2D of the cronolinos extend for hours the game and the addition of being able to play it in a classic way will please the most nostalgic," we commented.
We cannot forget the introduction of the orchestrated soundtrack, the Japanese voices and "certain shortcuts such as the use of the forge." In short, round off the excellence achieved with the original version.
