Finally, Nintendo has officially announced the release date of DRAGON QUEST MONSTERS: The Dark Prince: December 1. The soon-to-be-released game appears to innovate by zeroing in on a youthful Psaro, who was previously portrayed as an adversary. After a curse renders Psaro incapable of hurting monsters, the narrative shifts to him embracing the role of a Monster Wrangler. Players will have the opportunity to domesticate and combine a wide array of creatures as they traverse Nadiria’s landscapes. While the game’s bestiary reintroduces foes from the primary Dragon Quest titles, it also unveils a collection of never-before-seen monsters in The Dark Prince.
