Square Enix has announced Dragon Quest Walk, a location-based mobile game akin to Pokemon Go.
Due for release this year in Japan, Dragon Quest Walk will feature “a story that develops as you walk”. Quests will take place at various landmarks around Japan, similar to how Pokemon Go generates PokeStops at real-world named locations.
The game’s official website, translated via Gematsu, states that players will be able to “Walk the fields and talk to the townspeople while moving forward on your quest. Battle against various monsters, grow, prepare your equipment, and even challenge formidable enemies.” There is also the ability to create a room and decorate it with items obtained through play.
