The video game-to-movie adaptation saga continues and this time it's Dragon Quest's turn. The revered JRPG series running since 1986 will get its very own big screen adaptation later this year, and unlike the live action-CGI mashups like POKÉMON Detective Pikachu and Sonic The Hedgehog, this one will be fully animated. Titled Dragon Quest Your Story, this movie is based on the story of Dragon Quest V: Hand of the Heavenly Bride which released on the Super Famicom in 1992 and got a Nintendo DS version in 2009.

​

Dragon Quest: Your Story is set to release in Japanese theaters this August 2nd. There is no word of an international release at the time of writing but would you like to see it come to Western theaters from what you saw in the trailer?

damn I haven't played Dragon Quest since the NES days, I did try the Builders on Switch my little guy liked it, but from what I can dig up this is coming to Netflix in the States

looks like they are pushing for a lot of gaming stories

Probably the best story in the series, so this might be good

Three pages and not a single "puff puff" comment?
Am I in the wrong website? :o

I can't be the only one getting how to train your dragon vibes from this? Looks really interesting either way though, would definitely like to see an international release.

You are not, because they killed the signature toriyama style of the ip and made it more "westernized". That's why it looks like something out of dreamworks.

It definitely doesn't look like a dragon quest related movie, that's for certain. But I won't knock it until I've watched it (as long as it remains faithful to the story of DQ 5 I think I'll be fine).
