We finally get a Dragon Quest — even if it’s a Dynasty Warriors spin-off

PlayStation finally gets another Dragon Quest, but it’s not really a role-playing game.

Next year is the 30th anniversary for Square Enix’s Dragon Quest role-playing game franchise, and the company is celebrating by releasing one of the few spin-offs in the series, Dragon Quest Heroes: The World Tree’s Woe and the Blight Below, coming to PS4 later this October. The series is best known for bringing together famed Japanese creators, including game designer Yuji Hori, manga artist Akira Toriyama, and composer Koichi Sugiyama. And in America, the franchise is also known for spotty releases — the last Dragon Quest game on PlayStation was Dragon Quest VIII on PlayStation 2, 10 years ago.
