Dragon Quest is a series of role-playing video games created by Yuji Horii, which are published by Square Enix (formerly Enix). The first game of the series was released in Japan in 1986 on the Nintendo Entertainment System, and Dragon Quest games have subsequently been localized for markets in North America, Europe and Australia, on over a dozen video game consoles. In addition to traditional role-playing games, the series includes first-person adventure games, portable games, massively multiplayer online role-playing games, and games for mobile phones. Dragon Quest is Square Enix's second most successful franchise internationally behind the Final Fantasy franchise, having sold over 78 million units worldwide to date. [1] It has been cited as Japan's most popular and favorite gaming series by many publications. [2] [3] [4]
The original game in the series, renamed Dragon Warrior outside Japan, was released in 1986 in Japan and in North America in 1989. Dragon Quest games are released in Japan and, until 2004's Dragon Quest VIII, were later localized for the North American market under the Dragon Warrior title. That game was also the first main series game to be released outside Japan and North America. In addition to the 11 games released as part of the main (numbered) series and their many spin-offs and related titles, the Dragon Quest series has spawned many works in other media including anime, movies, novels and manga, and radio dramas. Many games, particularly the main series, have soundtrack album releases featuring their music in different arrangements. Square Enix has also released companion books for its games, which provide additional backstory and plot information, as well as detailed strategy guides. The majority of the games and media related to the series have only been released in Japan, although the series began to see more international popularity beginning in the 2010s.

Dragon Quest is a series of role-playing video games created by Yuji Horii, which are published by Square Enix (formerly Enix). The first game of the series was released in Japan in 1986 on the Nintendo Entertainment System, and Dragon Quest games have subsequently been localized for markets in North America, Europe and Australia, on over a dozen video game consoles. In addition to traditional role-playing games, the series includes first-person adventure games, portable games, massively multiplayer online role-playing games, and games for mobile phones. Dragon Quest is Square Enix's second most successful franchise internationally behind the Final Fantasy franchise, having sold over 78 million units worldwide to date. [1] It has been cited as Japan's most popular and favorite gaming series by many publications. [2] [3] [4]
The original game in the series, renamed Dragon Warrior outside Japan, was released in 1986 in Japan and in North America in 1989. Dragon Quest games are released in Japan and, until 2004's Dragon Quest VIII, were later localized for the North American market under the Dragon Warrior title. That game was also the first main series game to be released outside Japan and North America. In addition to the 11 games released as part of the main (numbered) series and their many spin-offs and related titles, the Dragon Quest series has spawned many works in other media including anime, movies, novels and manga, and radio dramas. Many games, particularly the main series, have soundtrack album releases featuring their music in different arrangements. Square Enix has also released companion books for its games, which provide additional backstory and plot information, as well as detailed strategy guides. The majority of the games and media related to the series have only been released in Japan, although the series began to see more international popularity beginning in the 2010s.
