Sq. Enix simply introduced a new sub-brand called Dragon Quest Golf, which is strictly what it feels like. It’s a workforce devoted to creating golf merchandise and equipment primarily based on the long-standing JRPG franchise. As anticipated, one of many model’s preliminary choices is a golf ball primarily based on the enduring blue Slime. That is sometimes the primary enemy gamers encounter in a DQ recreation.
The corporate will showcase extra merch on the 59th Japan Golf Honest on March 7, although Sq. Enix hasn’t but revealed some other gear in addition to the aforementioned ball. I may see a golf bag primarily based on a Weartiger or tees designed to resemble an Eggsoskeleton. Perhaps a super-powerful driver named after a Golem? The probabilities are limitless, although it’ll most likely simply showcase a bunch of golf shirts and khakis with DQ branding.
Why is Sq. Enix doing this? The corporate mentioned it's all about shifting demographics, according to a translation by Siliconera. The franchise has been extremely common in Japan since its introduction in 1986, which was nearly 40 years in the past. Of us who began with the primary recreation may now be grandparents. Additionally, Japan loves golf.
Extremely, this isn’t even the weirdest gaming-adjacent merch to move our eyeballs this week. Honda just announced an absolutely bizarre "close to life-size recreation of the Legendary Pokémon Koraidon." It’s powered by the corporate’s self-balancing expertise, so Honda says it’ll be capable to stroll on all 4 legs. Identical to Dragon Quest Golf merchandise, this factor goes on exhibit on March 7.
