This update provides an overview of where the latest fantasy adventure title stands in its long journey from announcement to near completion. Initially unveiled in 2021 and later reinvigorated after doubts of cancellation, the project titled Dragon Quest XII: The Flames of Fate is steadily approaching its final developmental phase.

He noted that while some aspects remain confidential, the team dedicates significant effort to crafting a memorable experience. In a brief video interview, he conveyed that future efforts will be equally impressive and invited everyone to look forward to what is coming next.
