Dragon Quest enthusiasts, rejoice! The beloved series' latest installment, Dragon Quest X, is making its way to mobile devices in Japan. This marks a significant moment for fans who have been eager to explore the MMORPG-style elements of this unique entry on their iOS and Android devices. The offline version, which strips away the multiplayer aspect to offer a single-player experience, will be available starting tomorrow at a discounted price for Japanese players.
As highlighted by Gematsu, this offline iteration of Dragon Quest X brings the game to a broader audience within Japan, allowing more fans to dive into its world without needing an internet connection. It's a nostalgic nod to the past, recalling Ubitu's plans to bring Dragon Quest X to mobile back in 2013, which never materialized.
Dragon Quest X distinguishes itself from other entries in the series with its real-time combat and MMORPG features, elements that were initially introduced in 2012. The offline version, released for consoles and PC in 2022, now extends this experience to mobile platforms.
Sadly, global fans might need to temper their excitement. While a worldwide release isn't entirely out of the question, the original Dragon Quest X was exclusive to Japan, and there's currently no solid news on an international launch for the offline mobile version.
As a dedicated Dragon Quest fan, especially fond of classics like Sentinels of the Starry Sky, the prospect of experiencing this series on mobile is thrilling.
