Dragon Quest X: Awakening of the Five Tribes Offline (ドラゴンクエストX 目覚めし五つの種族 オフライン, Doragon Kuesuto X Mezameshi Itsutsu no Shuzoku Ofurain?) is an upcoming single-player standalone version of Dragon Quest X. It was announced on May 27th, 2021 on the series' 35th anniversary in a YouTube livestream. On October 3rd, 2021, the game's release date of February 26, 2022 was announced at that year's Tokyo Game Show, but it was later delayed until the summer of 2022.
