Ben-DutkaWoo-hoo!
The acclaimed Dragon Quest franchise is finally coming back to PlayStation. Square Enix has officially confirmed Dragon Quest XI , which is currently in development for PlayStation 4, Nintendo 3DS, and the new Nintendo NX.
The PS4 version will be built using Unreal Engine 4 and perhaps strangely, the 3DS version seems to be a collaborative work between Nintendo and a third-party studio. The stream during which the game was announced (see it below) is entirely in Japanese so we don't have many details right now, but maybe we can expect more next month at Gamescom 2015. It'll be interesting to see how the developers approach what appears to be a more modern JRPG quest.
Also during the event, Square Enix revealed Dragon Quest X will be released for PS4; this is the MMORPG installment in the series. The last title PlayStation fans saw was the excellent Dragon Quest VIII on PlayStation 2, but we know we can't expect standard turn-based combat in the new one.

YES! Finally, Dragon Quest proper on a real console! Really looking forward to this!
Neat. It will be interesting to follow this one.
the real title or the mmorpg?
The nintendo NX version…
Woohoo. Why did they ever leave playstation? There really should be an HD version of DQVIII.
Totally agree. I already think it's one of the best-looking PlayStation 2 games, and I think the art style would benefit a lot from an HD upgrade.
And it seems like 'Dragon Quest' hops platforms according to whichever is currently the most popular, from Nintendo to PlayStation to Nintendo, and finally to both.
DQVIII is in my top 3 favorite games of all time.
Ps4 is the new Ps2 baby, one by one great jrpg series making a comeback…
dang if they release both a DQ & FF PS4 console. I won't know which one to pick =(
