While this announcement sounds like good news for Sony, it is not necessarily great news. If they told us that Dragon Quest XI was in the making and would be a Playstation exclusive, now that would be great news. Instead they are giving us a spin-off title that looks to play a lot like the Dynasty Warriors series, a good example being the Hyrule Warriors game that is on its way to Wii U. Not much else was revealed about the game itself, but from what we can see, it sure has a lot of enemies to fight, all the Dragon Quest classics like slimes, cyclopses, dragons, skeletons, wizards and golems are present. You can see more in the video below:
There is no mention of a release outside of Japan. However, assuming Hyrule Warriors does well on Wii U, Sony might consider the translation worth while for a launch in the US and Europe. Dragon Quest: Heroes is currently set to be released sometime in 2015 in Japan, and it would be a good guess to assume that we will not be seeing this on the shelves until the end of the year, when the holidays draw near. If you are a Dragons Quest fan though, you are in for a treat. To commemorate the launch, Sony is making a special edition silver "Metal Slime" PS4, complemented by a custom engraved HDD cover and matching DualShock 4 controllers.
