Square Enix has announced that Dragon Quest X: Rise of the Five Tribes Offline will be receiving a substantial paid content expansion very soon. Said expansion, titled “The Sleeping Hero and the Guiding Ally”, will release on May 26 in Japan for 4,400 yen.

Additionally, this version will feature new story content not present in the original Online release, revolving around the expansion’s new party member Anlucia.
