Square Enix has announced Dragon Quest X Offline is delayed to summer 2022, forgoing its previously planned February 2022 release date.
While Dragon Quest X Offline is delayed to summer 2022, the game will launch across Windows PC (via Steam), Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, and PlayStation 5.
Square Enix also confirmed the big DLC expansion “Sleeping Heroes and Guiding Allies” is also delayed from its previous release window of early 2022 to fall 2022.
Game producer Takuma Shiraishi commented on the delay, noting since the game is a standalone release and doesn’t require an internet connection they want to refine the overall quality of the game so that it’s in “perfect condition” when released.
Here’s a rundown on the game, via its official site:
Astrutia, a world consisting of five continents and several islands, is the stage for the adventures of Dragon Quest X Offline.
