Fans of the iconic Dragon Quest series have a new reason to celebrate, albeit with a caveat—it's only for Japanese players. Dragon Quest X, a title that blends traditional RPG elements with MMORPG mechanics, is making its way to mobile devices in Japan. The offline version of this game, which allows players to enjoy the experience without an internet connection, is set to launch on iOS and Android starting tomorrow. What's more, Japanese fans can snag this offline delight at a discounted price, making it an enticing deal for any Dragon Quest enthusiast.
As reported by Gematsu, Dragon Quest X Offline brings the single-player experience of this MMORPG-inspired title to the palm of your hand. It's worth noting that Ubitu had plans to bring Dragon Quest X to mobile back in 2013, a nostalgic reminder of how long fans have been waiting for this moment. The offline version, originally released in 2022 for consoles and PC, introduces real-time combat and other features that set it apart from its predecessors in the series, which first saw Dragon Quest X launch back in 2012.
Unfortunately, for those outside Japan, don't hold your breath for an international release just yet. While the original version of Dragon Quest X was exclusive to Japan, there's currently no concrete news about the offline version making its way to mobile devices globally. It's a disappointment for fans like myself, who have spent countless hours immersed in titles like Sentinels of the Starry Sky and are eager to experience another chapter of the series on mobile.
