Dragon Quest 8

Square Enix seemed to be teasing a Dragon Quest related announcement for this week but the news seems to have leaked early. Series creator Yuji Horii apparently revealed during the Japan Expo 2015 in Paris that Dragon Quest 7 and 8 would be releasing in French. This is according to Gematsu which reported several Twitter responses by those in attendance at the expo.

The announcement is significant because it means both Dragon Quest games will be heading to the 3DS internationally sometime in the near future. Both Dragon Quest titles were remade for the handheld, with Dragon Quest 7 released in 2013 and Dragon Quest 8 releasing this August for Japan.

Square Enix hasn’t officially announced anything thus far so there could still be something else planned. We’ll keep you in the loop regarding any updates so stay tuned in the coming days.

Are you excited at the possibility of both Dragon Quest titles heading West? Let us know in the comments below.
