Falcom has announced Dragon Slayer Project, its tentatively titled 45th anniversary project for console. A genre, specific platforms, and a release date were not announced.

Here is an overview of the Dragon Slayer series:

The first Dragon Slayer game launched for PC-8801 in 1984 as a "new-type, real-type role-playing game."

The game garnered attention for its unique systems such as simple and easy-to-understand controls like ramming into adjacent enemy characters to attack; distinctive growth elements where players bring experience points and items back home to strengthen their characters; and puzzles that require specific items and magic to clear obstacles; and it was praised by numerous PC users as a masterpiece of the early days of action RPGs.

After that, titles such as Xanadu, Romancia, Legacy of the Wizard, and Sorcerian were released as part of the Dragon Slayer series.

The sixth entry in the series, Dragon Slayer: The Legend of Heroes, utilized a command-based battle system, as well as emphasized unique characters, a carefully crafted world, and story development. This entry led to the spin-off series The Legend of Heroes, which later gave birth to the story RPG series Trails that began with The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky.

And still no news about Trails beyond the Horizon 2, they are doing everything they can to avoid working on that.

Xanadu Next sequel or successor pls

 

[Lorianus]

At this point they actively try to piss people off i guess, im happy for the 2 people awating a Xanadu game and them doing remakes but postponing the next mainline trails into what seems to be 2027 and beyond at this point is just not cool.

 

[Hudo]

That's pretty cool. A new Sorcerian game would be dope.

 

[ShaiKhulud1989]

Poor Kai players.

But I'm happy that Falcom is trying something outside of Trails/Ys for a change.

Same I don't mind waiting for Kai. I'm not saying I didn't love the ending for Kai it's just I kind of like I already know how that's all going to end. The only exciting thing about Kai for me is finding out the why of what happened but I've played this series long enough to know exactly how everything will end other then that. Who knows maybe Falcom will surprise me but I dont think so.
