Square Enix has announced that the Zenithia Trilogy (Castle in the Sky) will be released on the Nintendo DS in Europe, PAL territories and North America. The trilogy includes Dragon Quest IV: The Chapters of the Chosen, Dragon Quest V: The Hand of the Heavenly Bride and Dragon Quest VI: Realms of Reverie.

The trilogy will begin with Dragon Quest: The Chapters of the Chosen, an update of the NES title Dragon Quest IV. The game will ship on the 16th of September in the US with the European release date listed as September.

This is the first time these titles have been released in Europe. Dragon Quest IV was released on the NES in the US but it will be the first time that Dragon Quest V and VI arrive on North American shores.

Dragon Quest IV was originally released in Japan for the Famicom in February 1990. The North American version, titled Dragon Warrior IV, was released on the NES in December 1992. It is the final Dragon Quest/Warrior series title for the NES.

Developed by ArtePiazza, Dragon Quest: The Chapters of the Chosen is different to the rest of the series because it consists of five chapters, the first four being told from the perspective of the Hero’s future companions and the final one from the Hero’s perspective.

Players will embark on a journey, meeting new characters, battling monsters and discovering treasures along the way. The game will feature 3D graphics, newly animated monsters, an arranged orchestral score along with dual screen presentation and DS wireless communications.
