As mentioned above, Dragon Quest 12 Beyond Dreams does not currently have a release date. The game was essentially delayed after the original Flames of Fate concept was scrapped during its initial development.

With Square Enix confirming that they started over completely from scratch with DQ12’s development, it seems like the project is pretty far away from release. Although the sneak-peek trailer also looked pretty complete and looks incredible. So at this point, it’s speculation.

Although it should be noted that the game’s director didn’t give a potential release window and was pretty vague about details. So we wouldn’t expect this game to come out until late 2027 or even possibly 2028. But again, speculation.
