Square Enix announces that the Dragon Quest franchise has surpassed 100 million units sold. The milestone is marked in materials shared by the series’ creator, Yuji Horii, who thanks fans for their support and highlights the continued run of the franchise.
The reported total covers sales across the franchise’s mainline games and spin-offs, including remakes and remasters. Outlets also note that the tally traces back to the first Dragon Quest title’s release in 1986, placing the achievement roughly four decades after the series’ debut.
Both sources frame the announcement as a broad, franchise-level sales milestone rather than the performance of a single release. Nintendo Life also points to the timing of Horii’s message, noting attention on an upcoming entry, Dragon Quest Monsters: The Withered World. Other coverage emphasizes the overall longevity of the franchise, including its long-running presence across multiple types of games.
