During today’s Nintendo Direct Mini, it was announced that SQUARE ENIX will be releasing DRAGON QUEST TREASURES later this year, on Nintendo Switch. The SQUARE ENIX press release states that they will be launching the game worldwide, this upcoming December 9th, 2022. They mention that this is a completely new spin-off starring Erik and Mia during their childhood escapades. You can check out the new trailer down below (the embedded Nintendo Direct video will start at the correct timestamp) and read a little bit about the game.
Players will take control of Erik and Mia as they explore a treasure hunter’s paradise where boundless adventure awaits. Loot can be hidden in the most fiendishly inaccessible locations, so players must recruit a variety of well-meaning monsters and make use of their unique treasure-hunting abilities. These charming creatures will help players to race over open fields, scale cliffs with a single bound, and glide over gaping chasms. They will even provide assistance in battles against rival treasure hunters! Collecting treasure will increase the player’s vault value, allowing them to expand their home base and further build up their brigade of friendly monsters.
