Product Information

The first new Dragon Quest Monsters adventure since The Dark Prince, Dragon Quest Monsters: The Withered World brings fan-favorite Dragon Quest V heroines Bianca and Nera into the spotlight as dual protagonists.

Dragon Quest Monsters: The Withered World is the latest installment in Square Enix's beloved monster-taming RPG spin-off series. Announced during the Dragon Quest 40th Anniversary presentation, the game marks the return of the Dragon Quest Monsters franchise with an all-new adventure centered around Bianca and Nera, two iconic characters from Dragon Quest V: Hand of the Heavenly Bride.

Set in the mysterious Withered World, players will embark on a journey to restore life and help "make the whole world bloom." While Square Enix has yet to reveal extensive story details, the announcement trailer showcases a vibrant cast of classic Dragon Quest monsters and teases a magical adventure filled with exploration, monster recruitment, and strategic battles.

As the fourth numbered Dragon Quest Monsters title in Japan, The Withered World continues the series' tradition of collecting, raising, synthesizing, and commanding powerful monsters from across the Dragon Quest universe. Built for both current and next-generation platforms, the game aims to deliver the largest audience reach in Dragon Quest Monsters history.
