The mobile game Dragon Quest Monsters Super Light, based on the work of the famous Japanese programmer Yuji Horii, has just announced its sad permanent closure in a very close date of next year. The cell phone game that accompanied the Japanese public for 10 years says goodbye to all the fans, showing its gratitude to the players and confirming its schedule towards its imminent end. If you want to know what this news is about, join us in the following lines.
Farewell to a Game We Never Knew – Dragon Quest Monsters Super Light
It may seem contradictory, given the great love that the Western public shows for the saga, but this game never managed to cross the borders of the land of the rising sun. Released in 2014, this title brought the classic mechanics in an adventure that simulated the first installments of this well-known franchise. In fact, the success of this work was such that to date it has harvested the impressive figure of 30 million downloads, thus demonstrating why it is a very unfortunate news given the popularity of this mobile experience.
In the words of the game’s producer, Issei Ota, this farewell means the beginning of the end for the adventures of the protagonists and their long journey to date:
Dragon Quest Monsters Super Light is full of countless memories and effort put by the management team. The expression “service completion” was put as a measure to surprise the players who love the story of DQMSL and thus prepare them for the end of the adventure.
We hope you play until the end to see what will be the fate of Madoko, Warubo and Watabo’s long… long adventures. In addition, after completing the story, the reincarnation fate will be added to a monster highly requested by the fans, so look forward to it.
On the other hand, it was also confirmed that the story will enter its final stretch on October 31, starting the road map drawn by Dragon Quest Monsters Super Light until January 31, 2024:
Announcement of service termination – Scheduled for October 23.
End of story – Scheduled for October 31.
First chance to befriend the Super Demon Lord and turn him into your subjugation partner – Scheduled for November. Collaboration project with other Dragon Quest titles of mobile character confirmed.
Confirmation of the last official big tournament “Grand Master Final” that will combine offline and online qualifiers in an incredible ultimate experience.
Refund of unused currency and gems (paid) – Scheduled for January 31, 2024.
Similarly, it was confirmed that there will be an offline version of the game, after its shutdown, that will contain all the experience and monsters that “you have raised so far” as well as exclusive missions and campaigns for this edition. “We hope you take a look at it when it’s ready,” said the producer at the end of his letter published on Square Enix Japan’s blog.
Finally, the team behind the development of Dragon Quest Monsters Super Light did not hesitate to thank all the people who enjoyed playing DQMSL until now. “The journey that began on a small mobile screen has become a great adventure of 10 years,” “Thank you very much for spending so much time with us in your lives” were some comments made in this extensive message that shows the fervor put into this work that lasted until today and marked the fans of this saga in Japanese lands.
