Dragon Quest creator Yuji Horii has expressed his excitement for the launch of Dragon Quest RPG The Cursed Tree and The Chosen Isle. While few details are known about the game, Horii's words imply that this will be a traditional Dragon Quest game, unlike the franchise's other mobile ventures. Horii said that the game's goal is to "capture that unmistakable Dragon Quest feeling" that comes with "exploring towns, meeting new allies, gearing up and steadily growing stronger," which is why they put "RPG" in the name. As he puts it, Dragon Quest RPG is "the same classic adventure, brought to your smartphone."
Dragon Quest RPG The Cursed Tree and The Chosen Isle is in development and is expected to release in 2027. A closed beta test will take place from Dec. 8 through Dec. 15, so players can get a feel for Dragon Quest RPG and provide feedback that will be vital to its improvement.
Square Enix is accepting applications for the closed beta test on the Dragon Quest RPG website until Nov. 23 at 9:59 a.m. EDT. Up to 25,000 players will be selected to participate in the closed beta testing for Dragon Quest RPG. Entry will be granted using a lottery system. The minimum requirements to play Dragon Quest RPG are:
- iOS 15.0 / iPhone 11 / 4 GB RAM
- Android 9.0 / 64-bit device / Snapdragon 855 / 6 GB RAM
However, for better performance, the iPhone 14 with 6 GB RAM or an Android 13.0 device with Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 — or better — is recommended.
