Square Enix Shareholders Outraged: Dragon Quest XII Development Reportedly Reset to Zero
Image Unavailable
Square Enix is under fire from its shareholders following reports that the development of Dragon Quest XII: The Flames of Fate has been completely restarted. During a recent investor meeting, frustration boiled over as shareholders claimed that scrapped progress and starting from scratch at this stage is a massive waste of resources. This internal turmoil highlights significant production hurdles for the highly anticipated JRPG, which has seen little official footage since its 2021 reveal.
The Dragon Quest franchise is currently navigating a difficult transition period following the loss of legendary creators Akira Toriyama and Koichi Sugiyama. With the stakes higher than ever, this development reset suggests a lack of clear direction that has left both investors and the global fan community anxious. As Square Enix struggles to stabilize its flagship titles, the future of the twelfth installment remains shrouded in uncertainty and controversy.
