Nihon Falcom has announced a new Dragon Slayer project is being made to celebrate the 45th anniversary of the company. Currently, the game is going by the working title Dragon Slayer Project,and looks set to be the first new game in the series to bear the Dragon Slayer name since the 2012 mobile game, Dragon Slayer: Michi Kareshi Houkan no Senshi-tachi. There have been more recent entries in the Legend of Heroes and Trails sub-series, but those were spinoffs of the original game series, as is the Xanadu series.
Dragon Slayer is regarded as the start of the action RPG genre, after Yoshio Kiya played the game The Caverns of Freitag and was inspired to make a game like it, but faster paced.
Very few details are available at present, but Nihon Falcom has released a teaser image with the Dragon Slayer logo and has asked people to stay tuned for further updates.
