RPG giant Square Enix has finally relented to consumer demand for the latest game in the Dragon Quest series in Europe, announcing Dragon Quest VIII, complete with natty western subtitle: Journey of the Cursed King.
The press release issued by SquEnix notes some interesting facts about the series we thought we'd share with you; A staggering 40 million Dragon Quest games have been sold to date, which you must agree is quite a lot. Akira Toriyama, famed for creating Dragon Ball, is responsible for character design. Yuji Horii is responsible for the story and script, and Koichi Sugiyama who has composed music for TV and released over 100 soundtracks and orchestral CDs, is responsible for the music.
Journey of the Cursed King is actually developed by Level-5 (we knew that bit already) and is presented in a quite beautiful cell-shaded world. John Yamamoto, President and CEO comments: "We are delighted to be bringing such a prestigious title to Europe. The launch of Dragon Quest: The Journey of the Cursed King marks a milestone for Square Enix as a leading European publisher, and will create a benchmark in gaming. There is high anticipation for Dragon Quest and this title will not disappoint".
Expect DQ8 on shelves across Europe in April of this year.
