'Theatrhythm Dragon Quest': Square Enix Announces New Game for the 3DS

Square Enix will release a new "Theatrhythm" game, this time focusing on "Dragon Quest," for Nintendo 3DS, the company recently announced.

The "Theatrhythm" series unites characters from different games within a single franchise to embark on musical escapade. Players tap out well-known tunes from various games using touch and/or rhythm-based controls. Both games previously focused on the "Final Fantasy" franchise, which makes acclaimed role-playing series "Dragon Quest" a reasonable choice for a follow-up title.

Scant details are available at the moment in regard to "Theatrhythm Dragon Quest." According to Siliconera, it's expected to launch in Japan on March 26. A Western release date has not been announced as of yet.

"Theatrhythm Final Fantasy" launched in 2012 for Nintendo 3DS, while a follow-up, "Curtain Call," was released earlier this year. In an interview with Polygon, Square Enix confirmed that "Curtain Call" would be the last "Theatrhythm Final Fantasy" title.
