Dragon Quest Saga Expands on Mobile, PC with Upcoming Launch

Last year's Switch release of Square Enix's monster-collecting RPG, Dragon Quest Monsters: The Dark Prince, was a delightful experience despite some technical hiccups. Its charm and addictive gameplay easily surpassed other Dragon Quest spin-offs on the platform, rivaling the excellent Dragon Quest Builders 2. While a PC port was anticipated, a mobile release seemed far off. Surprisingly, Square Enix announced today that the previously Switch-exclusive title will arrive on iOS, Android, and Steam on September 11th, bundled with all previously released DLC, including the Dragon Quest Monsters: The Dark Prince Digital Deluxe Edition content. See the trailer below:

Comparison images showcasing the game's appearance on mobile, Switch, and Steam are available on the official Japanese website. Here's one example:

Importantly, the store listings confirm that the real-time online battle mode from the Switch version will be absent from the Steam and mobile versions.

The Nintendo Switch version of Dragon Quest Monsters: The Dark Prince is currently priced at $59.99 (standard) and $84.99 (Digital Deluxe Edition). Having thoroughly enjoyed the Switch version, I eagerly anticipate reviewing the game on iPhone, iPad, and Steam Deck upon its September 11th launch. Square Enix's swift port to mobile is a welcome surprise, especially considering the typical delays seen with other Dragon Quest titles, such as Dragon Quest Builders. The mobile price is set at $29.99, and the Steam version at $39.99. Pre-register on the App Store (iOS) and Google Play (Android).

Have you played Dragon Quest Monsters: The Dark Prince on Switch? Will you be picking it up on mobile or Steam in two weeks?
