Dragon Quest X<\/a> Online might have never left Japan, but the game has come to a whole host of different platforms since its 2012 launch on Wii including the Wii U, 3DS, Switch and mobile. Service for the game ended on the original console a few years back and now Square Enix has announced that the Wii U and 3DS are next on the list (thanks, Gematsu<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Yes, after what has already been a big year for console closures following the Wii U and 3DS eShops, Square Enix has revealed that the Nintendo classics (or not-so-classics, depending on your Wii U stance) will be losing the ability to play Dragon Quest X Online as the game will no longer be supported from 20th March 2024<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

This won’t affect all that many gamers outside of Japan given that the title was never officially localised, but it is yet another stark reminder that everything pre-Switch is now considered ‘old’ \u2014 yikes<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Of course, those who have been lucky enough to play Dragon Quest X Online will be able to continue the MMORPG journey on Switch, PC, PS4 or mobile. An offline version of the game \u2014 with the snappy title, Dragon Quest X: Rise of the Five Tribes Offline<\/strong> \u2014 was released in Japan back in September last year and we are still secretly hoping to hear of a Western release at some point, though our hopes are not all that high…<\/p>\n
