Dragon Quest Heroes western release touched on by Square Enix

Square Enix has touched on a possible western release for the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3 RPG, Dragon Quest Heroes.

Speaking during an interview with Game Watch (via Gematsu), the Japanese giant’s Ryutaro Ichimura commented, “I want to proceed thinking positively.

“Since we were able to announce the Chinese version in Taiwan today, seeing that reaction, I want to spread it even further around the world.”

Quizzed whether a possible localized version of the game would include the option to switch between English and Japanese voice overs, he added: “We haven’t decided anything about that yet, but if it’d be better to put it in, that’s something we’ll consider moving forward.”

Kenichi Ogasawara, a producer at Tecmo Koei, added: “If such a need is strong, we’re going to consider it.”

“There are no plans for completely synchronous multiplayer,” Ogasawara-san continued, in response to the inclusion of multiplayer, “but we will be incorporating a fun little element that uses the network. We haven’t officially announced that yet, but I think you’ll enjoy it.”

Dragon Quest Heroes is scheduled to ship in Japan on February 26.
