During today’s Nintendo Direct, DRAGON QUEST MONSTERS: The Dark Prince was announced. The game is scheduled to launch worldwide for Nintendo Switch, this upcoming December 1st, 2023. Feel fee to check out the new trailer down below. Also down below, you’ll find some more info about DRAGON QUEST MONSTERS: The Dark Prince from SQUARE ENIX’s latest press release.
DRAGON QUEST MONSTERS: THE DARK PRINCE features Psaro, the demon prince, whose curse prevents him from harming monsters. As a result, he must become a Monster Wrangler, recruiting, and fighting alongside monsters throughout the various environments of the fantastical world of Nadiria. Over the course of this adventure, the seasons will regularly cycle through Spring, Summer, Winter, and Fall, which not only changes the landscape, but also opens new areas and players will encounter different monsters specific to that season.
One of the most powerful tools in the player arsenal is the newly evolved synthesis system which allows players to create completely new monsters by combining those already on their roster. Players can experiment and eventually unlock over 500 monsters, including franchise favourites, dark lords, and completely new creatures. Once players have assembled their dream roster, they can take their teams of powerful monsters online, to battle against other Monster Wranglers around the world.
