Square Enix announces Gamescom 2014 lineup, confirms Dragon Quest IV mobile for the west

Square Enix has confirmed its title lineup for Gamescom today, detailing a handful of titles we already know about as well as one new addition previously unannounced.

Rounding out their HD console and PC games, the company plans on bringing over Final Fantasy XIV (PC, PS3, PS4), Nosgoth (PC), Lara Croft and the Temple of Osiris (PC, PS4, XB1), and Kingdom Hearts HD 2.5 ReMIX (PS3). Several mobile and handheld titles will also be on display including Theatrhythm Final Fantasy Curtain Call (3DS) as well as Dragon Quest IV and Dragon Quest VIII for mobile platforms.

Dragon Quest IV is the sole new announcement here and is new mobile version of the NES title Dragon Quest IV originally released in 1990 in Japan and recently updated for the Nintendo DS in 2008. The game includes five chapters to discover and a host of colorful characters to keep you company and battle by your side. Players can journey through the epic environments using all-new touch-screen controls.

Additionally, on August 16th both Final Fantasy XIV Producer/Director Naoki Yoshida and Theatrhythm Producer Ichiro Hazama will be taking up the stylus once again for a “final battle” of sorts as they fight it out once again using Theatrhythm Final Fantasy Curtain Call’s Versus Mode. The competition will be live streamed starting from 1500 CET. Final Fantasy XIV’s own Battle Challenge will also be available for attendees and will feature Ramuh, Leviathan, Gilgamesh, and Frontlines PvP.
