Update - May 25
With a day to go before Square Enix's planned 35th anniversary livestream, series creator Yuji Horri has offered fans a new message. Speaking about this on Twitter (credit to Siliconera for translating), he confirmed we'd get more information about "that game", saying:
This Thursday, Dragon Quest celebrates its 35th Anniversary. As you may know, we have a special 35th Anniversary Broadcast scheduled for then. In gratitude for all your support so far, we’ll have plenty to announce. And of course, we’ll have more on that game as well… Please look forward to it, everyone!
Though "that game" could be anything considering Dragon Quest's wide scope, this is heavily speculated to be Dragon Quest XII, a project Horii has previously confirmed to be in active development. Even if it's not the next main entry, fans have plenty of reasons to be excited.

It's been a busy month for Dragon Quest fans so far. Following news of Dragon Quest Builders 2's surprise launch on Xbox platforms and PC on May 4, Square Enix has just announced a 35th anniversary livestream is being broadcast on May 26.
