Square Enix announed its next mobile game will be Dragon Quest RPG: The Cursed Tree and the Chosen Isle. While we do know a name and some studios begin it, the full reveal won’t happen until 3am PT/6am ET/12pm CET on November 10, 2026. A YouTube reveal is set for then. We do know this will be a worldwide release, as there are Chinese, English, Japanese, and Korean debut videos associated with the title.
Since this does feature “RPG” in the name and has a subtitle that falls in line with mainline entries such as Dragon Quest VII: Fragments of the Forgotten Past and XI: Echoes of an Elusive Age, it suggests this is a more traditional installment. Both Armor Project and Bird Studio are associated with it, according to the copyright notices. Kobo Sugiyama is also referenced in a copyright tied to music.
Here’s the English placeholder for the announcement.
We’ve seen lots of new Dragon Quest mobile games recently. Dragon Quest Smash/Growis a roguelike that launched worldwide. Dragon Quest Walk is a Pokemon GO style title only in Japan. Not all of these recent releases went well, however, as both Dragon Quest Champions and Keshi Keshi launched only in Japan and had brief runs before being shut down.
We’ll see a full reveal of the new mobile game Dragon Quest RPG: The Cursed Tree and the Chosen Isle at 3am PT/6am ET/12pm CET on November 10, 2026.
