Awkwardly Named Action RPG Infinity Strash: Dragon Quest Travels West on PS5, PS4

Getting a global release

by Robert Ramsey Thu 15th Sep 2022

Infinity Strash — not Infinity's Trash — is getting a global release. Full (and very awkward) title Infinity Strash: Dragon Quest The Adventure of Dai is a Dragon Quest spinoff, based on The Adventure of Dai manga, which was first published in 1989. It was later revived as an anime series in 2020.

One of the first things you might notice is that Dragon Quest's trademark Akira Toriyama character designs are missing — which will make Infinity Strash something of an anomaly when it comes to Dragon Quest games.

Anyway, we don't have a launch date yet, but at least we know that it's coming West. Square Enix is making a point of providing worldwide release dates for its games going forward, and for Dragon Quest fans, who have been forced to wait months if not years for localisations in the past, this is a promising sign of things to come. A global launch is the plan for Dragon Quest XII as well.

Are you interested in Infinity Strash? Spell the name correctly in the comments section below.

Robert (or Rob if you're lazy) is an assistant editor of Push Square, and has been a fan of PlayStation since the 90s, when Tekken 2 introduced him to the incredible world of video games. He still takes his fighting games seriously, but RPGs are his true passion. The Witcher, Persona, Dragon Quest, Mass Effect, Final Fantasy, Trails, Tales — he's played 'em all. A little too much, some might say.

Damnit, I keep pronouncing it as Infinity Trash 😅. Anyhow, I'm actually surprised is coming to PS4 & PS5. Usually this type of game is switch exclusive, will definitely try it out.

I read that as Infinity Stash, and now I'm imagining a game where the characters just sit there, absolutely baked.

Is that not Toriyama's designs? Is it one of his assistants then? At the very least it's someone mimicking his style.

Should’ve just named it Dragon Quest: Adventures of Dai. It looks pretty good though.
I’m pretty sure that full title wouldn’t even fit on the box art unless the font is like 4 lol

@Milktastrophe It’s in the style of Koji Inada, who drew the manga that this is based on.

@Doctor-Moo he must've been mimicking Toriyama's style since it's dragon quest. Look at characters at like 1:25 and 1:40, they look like Toriyama designs.
