TTRPG news · Source announcement: 2026-11-09
Square Enix has announced Dragon Quest RPG: The Cursed Tree and the Chosen Isle, a new entry in the Dragon Quest series headed for iOS and Android. The announcement establishes the mobile platforms, but leaves its story, systems and release timing unanswered. Gematsu reported on November 9 that further information, including an announcement trailer, was scheduled to premiere the next day. That planned reveal is the next milestone in a story that, for now, has more open questions than confirmed details.
A new Dragon Quest mobile announcement
The confirmed news is straightforward: Square Enix announced Dragon Quest RPG: The Cursed Tree and the Chosen Isle for iOS and Android. Gematsu describes it as “the next adventure in the Dragon Quest series.” The report does not identify a launch window, so the announcement should not be taken as evidence that the game is close to release.
For prospective players, the platform announcement is the practical starting point. The report names mobile devices, but says nothing about a console or PC version. It also does not explain whether the game will be free-to-play, require an internet connection or include purchases. Those questions remain unresolved.
The announcement date and planned trailer
Gematsu’s article is dated November 9, 2026. It says further information, including the announcement trailer, would premiere November 10 at 3:00 a.m. PT, 6:00 a.m. ET and 20:00 JST. These are distinct dates: the announcement was reported on November 9, while the trailer and additional information were scheduled for the following day.
The report lists English, Japanese, Korean and Traditional Chinese versions of the trailer. That list does not establish which languages the game itself will support, or where it will be available.
What the report does not answer
There is kein Veröffentlichungstermin or pricing information in the report, and it offers no account of the plot beyond the title. The battle system, party structure, progression and any online features are also unaddressed. A series label and mobile platforms alone cannot establish how this game will play or how it will compare with earlier Dragon Quest titles.
Our advice is to wait for the trailer and fuller details before making assumptions about its mechanics or audience. That is editorial guidance, not a confirmed description of the game.
What existing players should keep in mind
The report does not mention links to earlier Dragon Quest mobile releases, saved-game transfers, shared accounts or cross-play. Existing players should not assume that progress, purchases or accounts will carry over. The absence of information is not confirmation that these features are unavailable; it simply means the announcement does not settle the question.
For now, the reliable picture is limited to a newly announced Dragon Quest RPG for iOS and Android and a planned information premiere on November 10. Release timing and the specifics of play remain unconfirmed in the supplied report.
