Call it hopium, but the optimist in me still has faith that Dragon Quest 10 could be in line for a global release, and I’m desperately hanging on to recent comments fromSquare Enixpresident Takashi Kiryu for validation.
It’s not much, butrecent rumors speculating about a potential global releaseadd some additional heft to his words. Recently, Square Enix Asia uploaded trailers for the Dragon Quest 10 Offline’s release in China and Korea, potentially suggesting an imminent announcement for a Western localized version. Moreover, the trailers only listed PlayStation and PC as platforms, conspicuously leaving out Nintendo Switch, a platform supported by both the offline and online versions of Dragon Quest 10. This led to speculation that Nintendo has taken over publishing duties for the global release on Switch.
Of course, this is all pure, unfettered speculation. A broader Asian release doesn’t necessitate a global launch, and it’s anyone’s guess why it wouldn’t include Nintendo Switch as a platform. As for Kiryu promising several Dragon Quest 10 announcements, again, expansions, events, new cosmetics; it could be anything. But one of the things could also be a localized version of the game! It’s a possibility, is what I’m saying.
