Last year's Switch release of Square Enix's monster-collecting RPG, Dragon Quest Monsters: The Dark Prince, was a hit with me 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 came as a pleasant surprise. Square Enix has announced that the previously Switch-exclusive title will arrive on iOS, Android, and Steam on September 11th, complete 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 pages clarify that the real-time Online Battles network mode from the Switch version will be absent in the Steam and mobile releases.

The Nintendo Switch version of Dragon Quest Monsters: The Dark Prince is currently priced at $59.99 (standard) and $84.99 (Digital Deluxe Edition). Given my enjoyment of the Switch version, I'm eager to review it on iPhone, iPad, and Steam Deck upon its September 11th launch. This swift mobile porting after the initial console release is commendable, especially considering the typical delays seen in the series, as exemplified by Dragon Quest Builders. The mobile price is set at $29.99, and the Steam version will cost $39.99. Pre-register on the App Store (iOS) and Google Play (Android) now!

Have you experienced Dragon Quest Monsters: The Dark Prince on Switch? Will you be adding it to your mobile or Steam library on September 11th?
