The eagerly awaited follow-up to Dragon Quest X is headed to the PlayStation 4, the 3DS, and Nintendo’s upcoming console, the NX.

Update: August 4 - 4:00am Square Enix issued a comment to Kotaku regarding the NX release, noting a discrepancy between the event announcement and the press release—head over here to see their statement.

Unlike the online MMO Dragon Quest X, the upcoming entry will be a stand alone single player title.

Famitsu reports that the PS4 version is being developed on Unreal Engine 4, with game company Orca pitching in on development. For the 3DS version, Toy Logic will be contributing to development.
