Square Enix confirmed today that Dragon Quest Heroes for the PlayStation®4 & PlayStation®3 computer entertainment systems have sold in more than 1 million units in Japan and Asia through packaged units and digital download. The game originally released in Japan during Februrary and Asia in June and it has taken less than 4 months to reach this milestone. Both Japan and Asia received the game favourably. 

Dragon Quest Heroes will be coming to Europe and North America in October 2015, exclusively for PlayStation 4 and will be available as both a boxed physical release and a digital download via PlayStation Store.

The game, which was developed by Omega Force from Koei Tecmo games is just one of many recent hit titles released by the studio. Hyrule Warriors being another Koei Tecmo developed title that has seen more than 1 million units sold. Koei Tecmo will be developing Dragon Quest Heroes II for PS3, PS4 and PSV as well as a brand new IP which is due to be announced next week.

Great sales! How much is it expected to move in the West?

good news

That was said during the Dragon Quest conference, I was surprised nobody caught it.

All I was catching at the time were some ZzZs
But yeah i've read it was mentioned there

Someone needs to make an "eating crow" thread for this.

its Dragon Quest

I'm no longer sure what is a core series Warriors game... Is it those that end with "Warriors" (Dynasty, Samurai, Gundam, Hyrule, One Piece), or is it just Dynasty? Or is it Dynasty and Samurai?

It's not like that's a 1 million guarantee in Japan. Just look at the DQ Monster 3DS games. Not one has cracked a million.

Otherwise, yay. I can see this game managing around 300k in the rest of the world. Maybe more since it's more action oriented. If it does really, really well, I could see it managing an additional 450k or so globally.

They're remakes.
