Dragon Quest XII remains under development, with updates to be revealed gradually, according to series creator Yuji Horii. During a recent livestream with his radio show group, KosoKoso Hōsō Kyoku, Horii confirmed that the Square Enix development team is diligently working on the project.
This marks the first official update since May 2024, following the announcements of the passing of Akira Toriyama and Koichi Sugiyama, key figures in the Dragon Quest franchise. The departure of lead producer Yu Miyake to head Square Enix's mobile game division had also preceded this update.
Recent restructuring at Square Enix and the absence of news had sparked fan concerns about the game's potential cancellation. However, Horii's statement effectively confirms that Dragon Quest XII is still actively in production.

Initially announced as part of the franchise's 35th-anniversary celebration, Dragon Quest XII will be the first main series entry since 2017's Dragon Quest XI: Echoes of an Elusive Age. Square Enix has since reported that the Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake surpassed sales projections, achieving 2 million copies sold.
