Square Enix has shared a new trailer for Dragon Quest Monsters: The Withered World, which is coming to both Nintendo Switch 2 and Nintendo Switch.
This has introduced Thespidor, the elusive misdirector of the Tragedian Players, who, known as the “showrunner of the darkness below,” created the meteocite crystals, although his motives for doing so are unclear.
This upcoming game stars Bianca and Nera from Dragon Quest V: Hand of the Heavenly Bride. Bianca (voiced by Eva Feiler) is a bright, upbeat and reliable young lady who always takes good care of her companions, whereas Nera (voiced by Kimberly Capera) is a kind and caring young lady who tries to help at every opportunity.
They will be joined by many trusted allies on their adventure, including the passionate Debora (voiced by Rebecca Hanssen), the strange but loyal being Fluffy (voiced by Caius Nicholas) and the oddball Fizzy (voiced by Harriet Carmichael).
“Bianca and Nera are searching for the fabled Leaves of Life that will supposedly heal their sick fathers,” the publisher writes in outlining the game’s storyline. “One night, the girls are visited at their bedsides by a strange creature called Fluffy, who leads them to continue their search in another land – the Kingdom of Witherwood, where the leaves are said to grow.
“However, they find Witherwood has been ravaged by malevolent forces that have all but eradicated the Leaves of Life… Fluffy bestows the girls with the power to befriend monsters, and the duo set out to revive the Leaves of Life–a quest that will take them to all corners of this strange new world.”
With more than 500 monsters to befriend from across the Dragon Quest series, alongside some all-new additions to the roster, you can recruit the monsters you meet in each different area, send them into battle or use them to synthesise new creatures to strengthen your party.
Dragon Quest Monsters: The Withered World will be released at retail and digitally on the Nintendo eShop for Nintendo Switch 2 and Nintendo Switch worldwide on 3 December 2026.
