Dragon Quest X Mobile Launch Exclusive to Japan

Dragon Quest fans, rejoice! One of the series' more unique entries, Dragon Quest X, is making its way to mobile devices—but there's a catch: it's only available in Japan. As of tomorrow, Japanese fans can dive into the offline version of this MMORPG-like adventure on both iOS and Android, offering a single-player experience at a discounted price. This follows the offline version's release on consoles and PC back in 2022, which was a significant departure from the original 2012 release.

Dragon Quest X stands out in the franchise with its MMORPG elements, including real-time combat, which adds a fresh twist to the beloved series. Unfortunately, for fans outside Japan, an international release doesn't seem to be on the horizon just yet. The original Dragon Quest X was exclusive to Japan, and while there's always hope for a global rollout of the offline mobile version, no concrete plans have surfaced.

As a dedicated Dragon Quest enthusiast, having spent countless hours on games like Sentinels of the Starry Sky, the prospect of experiencing a different iteration of the series on mobile is incredibly appealing. It's a missed opportunity for global fans, but hope remains that Square Enix might reconsider and bring this exciting offline version to a wider audience.
