Following an initial tease, Square Enix has officially unveiled Dragon Quest RPG: The Cursed Tree and the Chosen Isle, providing a closer look at its upcoming mobile adventure. The new entry in the long-running RPG franchise is planned for a global release on iOS and Android in 2027, with players now able to apply for an upcoming closed beta test scheduled for December.
Designed to deliver a classic Dragon Quest experience on smartphones, The Cursed Tree and the Chosen Isle will feature turn-based combat, a wide world to explore and plenty of monsters to encounter along the way. Players will have access to fast strike skills and pep powers to help overcome their opponents, while the spoils collected from defeated monsters can be used to help their base flourish.
Square Enix has also opened applications for the game’s first closed beta test, giving interested players an opportunity to experience the adventure ahead of its full release. Applications are available through the official website until November 23, with the test itself scheduled to run from December 8 through December 15. Participation will be limited to 25,000 people, and should applications exceed that number, participants will be selected through a lottery.
Dragon Quest RPG: The Cursed Tree and the Chosen Isle is currently planned for a global release in 2027 on iOS and Android, although certain regions will be excluded. Additional information about the game can be found on its official website.
