Dragon Quest Monsters: The Dark Prince launches for Steam and mobile devices on September 11

As a seasoned gamer and a die-hard Dragon Quest fan, I can hardly contain my excitement about the upcoming release of “Dragon Quest: The Dark Prince” on PC! With its captivating graphics, immersive storyline, and innovative gameplay mechanics, it’s shaping up to be an unforgettable adventure.


On September 11, Square Enix is set to debut “Dragon Quest Monsters: The Dark Prince” on mobile devices and Steam (PC). This role-playing game about monster raising was first introduced for Nintendo Switch in December 2023, and has since sold over a million units on that platform.

In this updated game, you’ll find all the additional content that came with the Digital Deluxe Edition on Switch, including a special treasure chest that opens every hour and contains useful items.

As mentioned on the Steam store listing, the PC adaptation will cost $39.99. Noteworthily, the online battle network feature available in the console edition – which facilitated real-time battles against other players – is not part of this version. For further information, please refer to the press release provided below.

In his review of the original release, Cullen described the game as “a triumphant return for this brand of monster-collecting RPGs” despite “frustrations with the storytelling”.

On September 11, 2024, Square Enix is set to release the newest installment of the beloved role-playing game, Dragon Quest Monsters: The Dark Prince, on both PC (via Steam) and mobile devices. This version will not only feature the main storyline quests but also all previously released DLC from the Nintendo Switch Digital Deluxe Edition. This means both newcomers and dedicated fans of the Dragon Quest Monsters series can enjoy exploring unique monster combinations and engaging in tactical battles on these platforms.

In Dragon Quest Monsters: The Dark Prince, you follow Psaro, a demon prince who is under a curse that prohibits him from causing harm to monsters. This leads him to take up the role of a Monster Wrangler, where he captures, trains, and fights alongside these creatures across diverse landscapes within the magical realm of Nadiria. The seasons in this world cycle through Spring, Summer, Fall, and Winter, which not only alters the scenery but also unveils fresh areas and introduces unique monsters that are exclusive to each season.

Among the player’s formidable resources, there’s a freshly developed synthesis method that empowers them to fashion entirely novel monsters by blending existing ones from their collection. Players can tinker and eventually unlock more than 500 monsters, ranging from beloved franchise figures, dark lords, to entirely unique beings. Additionally, Quickfire Contest, a rapid-fire competition, will let players engage in a solitary player challenge mode across 30 consecutive matches.

The upcoming versions of Dragon Quest Monsters: The Dark Prince on Steam (for PC) and mobile devices will come with all downloadable content that was released with the Nintendo Switch Digital Deluxe Edition. This means you’ll get everything that was included in this special edition.

  • The Mole Hole: In this special dungeon, scout monsters that have already been befriended once before. The Mole Hole provides ample opportunity to reunite easily with monsters that only appear during specific seasons or weather conditions, and even those that can only otherwise be obtained via synthesis.
  • Coach Joe’s Dungeon Gym: Explore the randomly generated dungeons to battle legions of powerful monsters.
  • Treasure Trunks: A mysterious treasure chest containing exciting rewards that can be opened once every hour allowing players to get their hands on some helpful items.

Dragon Quest Monsters: The Dark Prince for PC (Steam) and mobile will launch on September 11, 2024.
