Dragon Quest X Mobile Launches Exclusively in Japan

Fans of the iconic Dragon Quest series have a new reason to celebrate, though it's bittersweet news for those outside Japan. The latest installment, Dragon Quest X, known for its unique MMORPG elements, is making its way to mobile devices—but exclusively in Japan. Starting tomorrow, Japanese fans can dive into the offline version of Dragon Quest X on iOS and Android, enjoying the game's real-time combat and other features in a single-player format. This offline version, which was initially released for consoles and PC in 2022, is now available for a discounted premium purchase, offering a nostalgic yet fresh experience.

For those unfamiliar, Dragon Quest X broke the mold with its MMORPG-like gameplay, a departure from the traditional series format. The game, which first launched in 2012, has been a Japan-only title, and the mobile release continues this trend. Unfortunately, there's no concrete news yet on a global release, leaving international fans eagerly waiting for any updates.

As a long-time Dragon Quest enthusiast, the prospect of playing even a different version of the series on mobile is incredibly exciting. My fond memories of Dragon Quest: Sentinels of the Starry Sky only fuel my desire to experience Dragon Quest X on the go.
