GungHo, the developer of Puzzles & Dragons, has announced a new title in the franchise for release exclusively on the 3DS. The new game will be called Puzzle & Dragons X and will be an all new game apart from Puzzles & Dragons Z, a 3DS-exclusive title that launched in North America earlier this year. According to the announcement in Famitsu, Puzzles & Dragons X will feature over 500 monsters to capture, train, and evolve. Moreover, the developers promise more in-depth RPG mechanics than any Puzzle & Dragons title that has come before it.

Currently, there is no Western release date announced for the game, but it will launch in Japan sometime in 2016.

Puzzle & Dragons Z is a Nintendo 3DS title based on the famous Puzzle & Dragons game, on smartphones. It adds an overworld, story, and various other bonus content, making it a full-fledged RPG with the gameplay of Puzzle & Dragons. It was pretty successful in Japan, with over 1.5 million copies shipped.

It was followed by Puzzle & Dragons Super Mario Bros. Edition in April, this year. It’s basically a Mario-themed version of Puzzle & Dragons, but without any of the extra (overworld, story) from Puzzle & Dragons Z. Both versions came out in May in Europe and North America, as part of a single package.

In Japan, Puzzle & Dragons Super Mario Bros. Edition didn’t sell nearly as much as Puzzle & Dragons Z, but it looks like GungHo isn’t ready to give up on the Nintendo 3DS just yet. This month, CoroCoro magazine will reveal a mysterious new Puzzle & Dragon game for Nintendo’s handheld, which is mentioned on the cover.

Unfortunately, we have absolutely no details at the moment: all we know is that the game will be on Nintendo 3DS. We don’t know if it will be a “sequel” to Puzzle & Dragons Z, a game based on another Nintendo licence, or something else entirely.
