Posted on 1 year ago by Nicolas in News, Switch | 0 comments
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.
This expansion will apparently provide an amount of content equivalent to that of the base game, with players being able to experience new adventures in the land of Rendashia via luxury cruise ship rides or even the ability to fly through the sky on a dragon’s back. Additionally, this version will feature new story content not present in the original Online release, revolving around the expansion’s new party member Anlucia.
You can check out a trailer for Dragon Quest X: Rise of the Five Tribes Offline’s “The Sleeping Hero and the Guiding Ally” expansion below.
