Dragon Quest X is coming to mobile, but so far only in Japan

Longtime fans of the Dragon Quest series are in for a treat! Dragon Quest X Offline, a single-player version of the popular MMORPG, is launching tomorrow on iOS and Android in Japan. Japanese players can purchase the offline version for a discounted price, enjoying the game's unique blend of classic Dragon Quest charm and MMORPG elements like real-time combat—a departure from the series' usual turn-based system. This mobile release follows the console and PC launch of Dragon Quest X Offline in 2022, and is a significant event considering a mobile port was initially planned way back in 2013.

As reported by Gematsu, this mobile version offers offline functionality, making it accessible even without a consistent internet connection. Interestingly, the original Dragon Quest X was a Japan-only release, and while there's currently no official word on a global release for the offline version, fans outside of Japan will likely be hoping for an international launch in the future.

For those unfamiliar, Dragon Quest X stands out from other entries in the series due to its MMORPG features. The offline version, however, provides a self-contained single-player experience. While the lack of a global release is disappointing for international fans, the Japanese launch is still exciting news for those who have been eagerly awaiting a mobile version. The opportunity to experience this unique take on Dragon Quest on the go is a welcome addition for Japanese players.
