Wukong (nothing against Astro Bot but Wukong was robbed lol) and Stellar Blade have set the bar. Western devs need to step up.

Western devs are so afraid of making games that have attractive women, and that aren't inclusive to everyone. This may be a hot take, but I firmly believe that not everything needs to be inclusive. If everything catered to everybody, the world would be an incredibly boring and predicatable place

Soooooooo... Stellar Blade on PC is sitting on 147900 concurrent players on Steam. And counting. Bots and bootlickers are seething and coping right now on Reddit. They cannot fathom how a game like Stellar Blade is outperforming games like Dragon Age The Failguard, Concord and AC Shadows.

Ladies and gents, the recipe to success is simple. Make an honest-to-goodness game with likable characters and most importantly-- MAKE IT FUN... and success will follow.

I bought the PS5 version last year, and I did not hesitate for a moment to buy the complete edition on Steam to play it maxed out on my PC. The devs deserve the success

@phreak How could I have forgotten about Naoto lol I'm a fake fan. Yes Naoto would probably cause the biggest disturbance in the force. But I trust Atlus so I'm 90% sure she'll be fine.

Dragon Quest 12 Gets Another Update From Franchise’s Creator

by Sam Aberdeen on 14 May, 2025

Dragon Quest 12 (or as it’s officially titled, Dragon Quest XII: The Flames of Fate) is still in development, according to series creator Yuji Horii. The game was first unveiled back in 2021. Since then, we’ve heard nothing about it or received any new trailers beyond its initial announcement video. Horii has now assured fans that development on the game is still ongoing.

In a recent interview with Gamereactor, Horii was asked about any updates regarding Dragon Quest 12. “I am making it, putting lots of work into it… I can only say that the next work will be great too, [I’m] working really hard,” he replied. “Please look forward to it, is the only thing I can say.” When pressed further about if the team had any plans to release the game on Nintendo Switch 2, Horii gave a rather vague answer. “I believe it could be compatible with Switch 2 as well.”

Horii didn’t provide any further details about when fans can expect the next trailer or update. We already know some information from four years ago when Dragon Quest 12 was first announced. Horii revealed at the time that he wanted to give players more options and choices, with plans by Square Enix to change the franchise’s command battle system. What shape that will take is anyone’s guess, though some fans speculate that it will lean more heavily towards action, following a similar trajectory to the Final Fantasy games.

Horii made a similar comment about the game’s development back in February this year, also confirming that it’s still coming and that news would drop little by little over time. In the meantime, Square Enix is also working on remasters of the first three Dragon Quest games. Dragon Quest I + II HD-2D is expected to launch in late 2025.

Dragon Quest 12 is currently in development.
