Baskin-Robbins Reveals Collaboration with Dragon Quest for 40th Anniversary Ice Cream Flavor
Baskin-Robbins has recently announced a celebratory collaboration with the classic role-playing series Dragon Quest to mark the franchise’s impressive forty years in the gaming industry. This partnership will introduce a specialized menu featuring custom-designed sundaes, take-out variety packs, and themed ice cream cakes that pay homage to the iconic gaming series.
Since its inception in 1986, Dragon Quest has been a trailblazer in the traditional Japanese role-playing genre, captivating players with its turn-based combat mechanics, iconic musical scores, and unforgettable creature designs. Over the years, the franchise has garnered a dedicated global following spanning generations of gamers.
As part of this limited-time collaboration, Baskin-Robbins flavor experts have crafted a brand-new monthly flavor known as “Critical Hit! -Golden Pine Lemonade-.” This unique dessert aims to capture the exhilarating experience of landing a powerful critical hit in a turn-based battle. It features a tantalizing blend of light-blue lemonade sorbet and sweet, juicy yellow golden pineapple sorbet, complemented by a crackling candy that pops in the mouth and a sour lemon ribbon for an added zing.
The menu for this collaboration includes an array of Dragon Quest themed items, such as the “Critical Hit! -Golden Pine Lemonade-” sundae, the “A Slime Has Appeared! Battle Sundae,” and the “Dragon Quest 40th Set” in both regular and small sizes. Additionally, fans can indulge in the whimsical “A Slime Has Appeared! Ice Cream Cake,” which features a two-tier structure designed to resemble Slime Island and is adorned with an assortment of delicious ice cream flavors and decorative elements.
Moreover, the collaboration extends into the digital realm with a special crossover event with the MMORPG Dragon Quest X Online. Players participating in the event can unlock exclusive cosmetic gear by entering a promotional phrase into the game’s gift code menu. These digital rewards include an ice cream equipment piece and a unique emote, adding a fun twist to the gaming experience.
Physical visitors to Baskin-Robbins Japan stores during the promotion period can receive a limited-edition commemorative sticker by making a minimum purchase. This collectible sticker features a charming Popping Shower Slime design and is available to the first 200,000 customers nationwide.
The Baskin-Robbins Dragon Quest campaign is slated to run from June 1 to June 30, 2026, at participating stores across Japan. Fans are encouraged to seize the opportunity to enjoy these exclusive items and collectibles, as supplies are limited and will be available while stocks last.
