Dragon Quest RPG: The Cursed Tree and the Chosen Isle - Beta Announced

Square Enix and developer WFS have unveiled Dragon Quest RPG: The Cursed Tree and the Chosen Isle, a turn-based RPG coming to iOS and Android in 2027. Sign-ups for a closed beta test are open now through November 23, with the test scheduled to run from December 8 to 15. You can apply through the official beta test website.

The game promises a classic Dragon Quest adventure built for smartphones, with exploration across open fields and dungeons and turn-based battles. Players can use Fast Strike skills and pep powers, then bring back rewards to strengthen their base and allies.

The story begins on the floating isle of Monbelusha, where the fiend Zaahl corrupts Yggdrasil into the cursed tree Grimvein. Players take on the role of a Warden of the World Tree, setting out with a mysterious branch to save the world.

The creative staff includes Yuji Horii as general director, Akira Toriyama for character design, and Koichi Sugiyama for music. WFS is developing the game, with planning and production by Square Enix.
