Square Enix has opened pre-orders for a Dragon Quest Walk fan book to mark the mobile game’s 5th anniversary, which fell in September 2024. People can place orders for the book on the Japanese Square Enix e-Store at 1,980 yen (~$13.30). The company will release the book in mid-November 2024.
This book will contain numerous articles that will interest players of the Dragon Quest-themed location-based game. Besides a dialogue between Yuji Horii and the mobile game’s producer Takamasa Shiba, the book will also contain a new analysis of the players’ gameplay behaviors. In addition, it will also have coverage of in-game souvenir items from playing the game in Taiwan, which Square Enix has made available since March 2023.
Each copy of the book will also contain a spell code that rewards a Metal King Coin in the actual game. Square Enix will set up a webpage where people can input the code in mid-November 2024.
Square Enix first launched Dragon Quest Walk for iOS and Android mobile devices in Japan on September 12, 2019. The company recorded over 5 million downloads for the game a week after launch, which it also owed to the Dragon Quest series’ sheer popularity in Japan despite releasing the game only in the country. More than four-and-a-half years later in April 2024, Sensor Tower revealed that revenue from the game had exceeded $2 billion.
The Dragon Quest Walk 5th Anniversary Official Fan Book will be available on November 15, 2024.
