If you're a die-hard fan of the iconic Dragon Quest series, you'll be thrilled to know that Dragon Quest X, one of its more recent entries with an MMORPG twist, is making its way to mobile devices. However, this exciting news comes with a caveat—it's currently slated for release only in Japan. Japanese fans can dive into the offline version of Dragon Quest X, which offers a single-player experience on iOS and Android, launching tomorrow. This version is available at a discounted price, making it an enticing offer for fans eager to explore this unique entry in the series.
As reported by Gematsu, Dragon Quest X Offline brings the MMORPG-like features of the original game, including real-time combat, to a solo experience. This offline version initially hit consoles and PC back in 2022, a decade after the original Dragon Quest X debuted in 2012. Interestingly, there was a time when Ubitu planned to bring Dragon Quest X to mobile back in 2013, but that never came to fruition.
Sadly, fans outside Japan might want to temper their excitement. There's no official word on an international release for the mobile version of Dragon Quest X Offline. Given that the original game was also a Japan-only release, the prospects for a global rollout seem uncertain at this point. It's a disappointing development for fans like myself, who have spent countless hours immersed in other Dragon Quest titles, such as Sentinels of the Starry Sky.
