Square-Enix has confirmed a release date of September 12th for Dragon Quest IV according to Eurogamer. That puts the DS game's release here four days ahead of the US.

The game's full title in Europe is Dragon Quest: The Chapters of the Chosen. The game is the first in Square's announced Zenithia trilogy, with Dragon Quest: The Hand of the Heavenly Bride and Dragon Quest: The Realms of the Reverie to follow at some point. It's also be the first time the game has been released here in Europe.

It originally came out as Dragon Warrior IV on the NES back in 1990 but only in Japan and the US. This DS remake features enhanced 3D graphics and the same epic tale of the original, told through multiple perspectives.
