Long-time Dragon Quest fans are well aware of the numerous entries and spin-offs in the series, but one that didn't get the attention it deserved was the MMORPG-inspired Dragon Quest X. Exciting news for fans in Japan: the recently released offline version of Dragon Quest X is set to launch on mobile devices tomorrow for iOS and Android!

As reported by Gematsu, Japanese Dragon Quest enthusiasts can now purchase Dragon Quest X Offline, a version tailored for single-player enjoyment, on their mobile devices. This release comes at a discounted price, offering a nostalgic nod to the past. Interestingly, Ubitu was originally set to bring Dragon Quest X to mobile back in 2013, showcasing the long journey this game has taken.

Dragon Quest X stands out from its predecessors with its MMORPG elements, including real-time combat, which is a departure from the traditional series gameplay. The offline version, which hit consoles and PC in 2022, is a significant update from the original 2012 release.

Here be dragons

Unfortunately, fans outside Japan shouldn't hold their breath for an international release. The original Dragon Quest X was exclusive to Japan, and there's currently no news on a global launch for the offline mobile version. It's a disappointing prospect, especially for avid fans like myself who spent countless hours immersed in Dragon Quest IX: Sentinels of the Starry Sky and would relish the chance to dive into another version of the series on mobile.
