Dragon Quest and NieR fans are getting something special in 2026

2026 will see several big video game franchises celebrating their anniversaries. This will be the case for Dragon Quest, which will be turning four decades old. To mark the occasion, we are getting a remake of the seventh entry in the franchise on February 5.

In a recent interview with 4Gamer (translated by Gematsu), Yosuke Saito, the producer of NieR and Dragon Quest, said that a little something is planned for fans. However, don't expect any major announcements.

"Next year marks the 40th anniversary of Dragon Quest! I’d be extremely happy if everyone could join in on a grand celebration. And for NieR: Automata‘s ninth anniversary, we’re also preparing ‘just a little something…’ so please don’t get too excited with anticipation! With that, I wish you all a happy New Year."
