Looking at the images under development, I can't help but feel a sense of déjà vu.... Poke...poke...

I was trying to choose the right word, but Yuji Horii said "Pokemon GO is also popular lol" at the "New 'Dragon Quest' for Smartphones" presentation, so I thought it would be okay to say "Dragons Quest GO"!

Will Sramichi play the role of a storyteller?

The game is being developed jointly by SQUANI and COLOPLAR.
