Dragon Quest RPG: Cursed Tree and Chosen Isle Coming to Mobile

Square Enix has announced Dragon Quest RPG: The Cursed Tree and the Chosen Isle for mobile devices. The first trailer shows field exploration from an isometric view, turn-based battles and a home hub that can expand as players progress.

The hub includes shops that players can add over time. The game is designed as a full mobile spinoff with systems based on the traditional Dragon Quest role-playing format.

A letter on the game’s official website explains the use of the Dragon Quest RPG name. Series creator Yuji Horii said the name distinguishes the title from the series’ other mobile spinoffs and highlights its link to the mainline games.

The game will include mobile-focused features, including the developing hub town. Its main systems will center on exploration, combat and character progression.

Applications for a closed beta test are open. The game has no confirmed release date, but it is expected to launch in 2027.
