One other Dragon Quest game announced during the 35th-anniversary celebrations was Dragon Quest Treasures.
Producer Taichi Inuzuka explained how the game would be a spin-off, starring Erik and Mia - and some key themes will apparently be "Erik and Mia's childhood" and "treasure hunting"...
It will also be an RPG, but "not a traditional one" and that's all that can apparently be revealed for now. Release dates and platforms are yet to be decided, but it's expected to be a simultaneous worldwide release.

Some sort of Captain toad treasure tracker?
Looks alright need to see more... But greedy wind waker looks ok.
I am not sure how I feel about this one. There wasn't much to go off of on the trailer so I will have to see if it interests me down the road. Erik is one of my favorite characters from Dragon Quest XI after all.
At first I thought this was just a Mobile game or something, but this seems to be a pleasant surprise.
I wonder if this will play like snack world?
This was unexpected, but I like what I am hearing so far.
I'm really curious to see more on this game. I've been excited ever since this was announced as a Monsters game, but now that it's becoming its own thing, I'm excited to see more gameplay and learn what it's like!
Hmmm. Not mad about it. If it’s mobile game I will be. But anything dragon quest is good
Wow, it looks pretty good indeed! Bit I have to see more to get really excited.
It looks very cool, kind of an action RPG take on DQ with a focus on treasure hunting.
This looks like it could be addictive.
I don’t play dragon quest nor do I plan to but this trailer kinda looked like botw with the gliding to me.
WHERE IS SYLVANDO'S SPINOFF?!?
@Slowdive Same.
Also it's clearly a different game but there's aspects of this that keep giving me "Dragon Quest Builders" vibe and that's a good thing for me because even the story/etc of these games were very good in my opinion(it's what keeps drawing me to replaying DQB2's story for one).
I wonder if that's the "not a Builders game this time" game the Builders team was involved in.
Also I worried about platform at first bit looking again properly at the environment with clear polygons and up close at character's cel-shaded textures, I feel the probability of this releasing/being Switch-supported can remain pretty decent.
This said DQ12 supposedly being "darker" has me worried because that has often meant "We'll make it more realistic and gritty" in the past which usually translate into "... therefore it's sadly an AAA console exclusive" X_X
@crashcontrol Interestingly, while I had a Zelda vibe from this as well.... it was rather "Dragon Quest Wind Waker?" that I got from it in term of vibes.
I dunno if it's the boat, cute character designs or perspective/etc but BOTW isn't the Zelda I got reminded by.
@VIIIAxel Yeah. I find interesting they still confirmed a Monsters game was in the work so I wonder if it turned out into one of these "One game project that was actually split into two completely different titles" kind of like the original Secret of Mana project got technically spit into both the original Secret of Mana and Chrono Trigger of all things.
I'm curious about Treasures now. It gives me some kind of "Dragon Quest Wind Waker" vibe in a weird but not bad way. Also there's a few details in there that can't help but give me a slight Builders vibe from it despite it not being(afaik) a Builders game. But the overhead perspective, cute characters and some other such detail remind me of the work of the team behind Builders(which managed to be one of the few blockbuilds franchise, DQB2 in particular, I somehow keep replaying for the story).
((long story: Secret of Mana was originally meant to be a title for the Nintendo/Sony original Playstation collaboration before Sony buggered off to make the Playstation it's own console. This led SoM to become a SNES game with the much smaller storage found on cartridge forcing a lot of content to be reworked and cuts, as a result a lot of those cut assets instead became... Chrono Trigger. The Ocean Palace is apparently one of the major ones whose assets stems from these original Secret of Mana plans)).
Interesting and unexpected news. Huge fan of DQ XI S, so will dive into this when it is out
I will have to see more about this one, but I am a fan of Erik so that's a start.
A Dragon Quest Scavenger game? As long as it's fun I don't really had a problem with it, I just hope the concept is fresh and good.
@JasmineDragon Dance Dance Revolution: Sylvando Mix
I'd rather have DQBuilders 3.. sad..
@AchievingGamer i really hope so..
