Square Enix has announced Dragon Quest RPG: The Cursed Tree and the Chosen Isle, a new entry in the Dragon Quest franchise coming to iOS and Android. The company confirmed the mobile RPG on November 9, 2026, ahead of a scheduled announcement trailer that will provide the first detailed look at the project.
The announcement trailer will premiere on November 10 at 3:00 a.m. Pacific Time, 6:00 a.m. Eastern Time, and 8:00 p.m. Japan Standard Time. Square Enix has prepared versions in English, Japanese, Korean, and Traditional Chinese, indicating a multilingual reveal rather than an announcement limited to Japan.
The Japanese announcement identifies the title as Dragon Quest RPG: Makaiju to Michibikareshi Shima (ドラゴンクエストRPG 魔界樹と導かれし島) and describes it as a command-based RPG for smartphones. This establishes its broad gameplay category, although Square Enix has not yet explained its combat systems, exploration mechanics, character progression, or story.
The publisher has also not disclosed a release date, pricing structure, or monetization model. Whether the game will be free-to-play or require an upfront purchase remains unconfirmed. No PC or console versions have been announced.
The November 10 presentation is scheduled to feature an announcement trailer lasting approximately two minutes, according to the game’s official Japanese social media announcement. It will mark the first substantial reveal of the new project following its initial title and platform confirmation.
Dragon Quest RPG: The Cursed Tree and the Chosen Isle is a separate mobile project within Square Enix’s long-running role-playing franchise. For now, its confirmed platforms are iOS and Android, with additional information expected during the November 10 trailer premiere.
