Square Enix’s Dragon Quest 40th anniversary livestream presents multiple updates across the franchise, including news about Dragon Quest 12, Dragon Quest 11, and the return of the Dragon Quest Monsters series. Several outlets report that Dragon Quest 12 receives a significant update described as a restart, along with a new title. The event also includes information about Dragon Quest 11 coming to Switch 2, framed as a port for the newer system. In addition, the stream announces a brand-new entry in the Dragon Quest Monsters series, marking a return for that sub-series after a period without new releases highlighted in these reports. While the outlets differ in phrasing and emphasis, they broadly agree that the anniversary event is being used to reintroduce and update major upcoming projects and to confirm a new Monsters game. The announcements come through the livestream’s game reveals and franchise-focused updates tied to the 40th anniversary celebration.
