Following its launch back in 2021, Square Enix announced that Dragon Quest The Adventure of Dai: A Hero’s Bonds (Free) for iOS and Android will be shutting down. Dragon Quest The Adventure of Dai: A Hero’s Bonds was one of the three games originally revealed under the Dragon Quest: The Adventure of Dai project that includes a console game as well. Dragon Quest The Adventure of Dai: A Hero’s Bonds has been developed by DeNA and it is a team action RPG with three lane combat and co-op support for up to three players. Following today’s announcement, sale of Red Gems have been discontinued. If you bought any, you can use them until service ends in April 2023. Square Enix says more updates are planned until the service ends. While it is disappointing to see this happen for regular players, I can’t imagine regular Square Enix free to play mobile game players are enjoying seeing this happen to multiple games from the publisher.
If you’ve not played it yet, Dragon Quest The Adventure of Dai: A Hero’s Bonds includes two different stories with ‘Dragon Tracks’ featuring the story from the original Adventure of Dai series and ‘Bonding Journey’ which is a new story written under the guidance of Riku Sanjo, the original author. If you’d like to check it out ahead of service ending on April 26th, you can download Dragon Quest The Adventure of Dai: A Hero’s Bonds on the App Store for iOS here and on Google Play for Android here. It includes English, Japanese, Traditional Chinese, and French language support. What do you think of Dragon Quest The Adventure of Dai: A Hero’s Bonds if you played it following its global launch in September 2021?
