Get the details below.

■ Story

As the reincarnation of the legendary “Hero,” the protagonist sets off on a journey through a vast world.

The protagonist, who grew up in the calm village of Ishi, turned 16 years old and took part in a coming-of-age ceremony as a village custom. As the reincarnation of the “Hero” that once saved the world, he understands that he is burdened with a great mission. To learn about the Hero and the Hero’s mission, he sets off on a journey from his hometown.

 

The destination—the continent’s biggest country, “Delcadar.” Specifically, the king.

Based on his mother’s words that all will be revealed should he go to Delcadar, the protagonist in due course heads for the king. The protagonist informs the king of Delcadar that he is the “hero,” and the king began to tell him what the “hero” means—

And then, the Hero is called the child of the devil!

What the king of Delcadar said was unbelievable. He said that the Hero is the child of the devil. In response to the king’s words, the soldiers surround the protagonist with their swords pointed at him. What is the meaning of all of this? The story of the legendary “Hero” starts off with a bang. What is the fate of the protagonist?

The story of a new “Hero” begins now.

Around the Network

I'm most interested in the Switch vs PS4 comparisons.



slightly underwhelmed by the PS4 graphics, but so looking forward to this game, we should be getting release dates this year



I will probably get both the 3DS and switch versions, unless SE ports both the 3DS and PS4 version into one package on Switch. That would be awesome. If the Switch version plays differently from the PS4 one, then I will get the Ps4 game, but I'd rather portability for this game than 4k downscaling (with PS4 pro.)



Just show me the Switch version already, so I can decide if I want to buy a Switch.

The 3DS version looks a lot better than the PS4 one.

I´m glad to have DQ on Playstation again. Day 1 for me on PS4 whenever they bring it over.



Whereas the ps4/Switch version looks like a generic RPG, the 3ds version looks fantastic! So cute, so Akira Toriyama like, so unique and vivid. I hope the 3ds version comes west!



It looks majestic on the ps4. It will be awesome on the ps4 pro!!



are they still using 3d+2d graphic for 3ds? if yes, 3ds ver is defly the one that i'll get
