Dragon Quest 10 has been in development since 2005, according to a former Square Enix employee.
As reported by Andriasang (http://www.andriasang.com/e/blog/2011/09/08/dqx_long_development/), Takehiko Hoashi, who recently left the company after working as a producer on the likes of Final Fantasy XIV and The 3rd Birthday, Tweeted (https://twitter.com/#!/AItoiI/status/110647680472072192) that work on the latest entry in the phenomenally successful RPG franchise kicked off six years ago.
That means it will have seen a lengthy seven year gestation period by the time it releases next year.
As revealed last week (http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2011-09-05-dragon-quest-x-confirmed-for-wii-u), it's a Wii and Wii U title featuring a major online component.
It'll be the first game in the main Dragon Quest series developed in-house at Square Enix, with 2004's DQ8 and 2009's DQ9 both made by Level-5.
