After revealing the first look at the game back in September of last year and only giving us a vague release window of Fall 2023, Square Enix has finally announced that Infinity Strash: Dragon Quest The Adventure of Dai will be launching on September 28th on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4/5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam worldwide this year. Preorders are also now available on most digital storefronts!
Along with the release date, Square Enix has also revealed what you get when you preorder Infinity Strash: Dragon Quest The Adventure of Dai, as well as what is contained in the Digital Deluxe Edition. When you preorder any version of the game, you gain access to Dai’s Special “Legendary Hero” Outfit (which looks to be based on Dragon Quest III‘s hero), as well as early access to The Bond Memory “The Hero’s Tutor”, which provides bonus EXP. According to the preorder pages, this Bond Memory can be obtained later in the game as well, so those who don’t preorder don’t lose out on it. The Digital Deluxe Edition will be $15 USD more at $64.99 USD and will include special outfits for Popp, Maam, and Hyunckel!

Infinity Strash: Dragon Quest The Adventure of Dai is looking to be a great time. The art style is transitioning very well into game form, and the action RPG gameplay is looking very smooth and fun! I’m sure this game will find its way into my backlog eventually. The only Dragon Quest game I’ve actually played to completion myself is Rocket Slime… But seeing how cool The Adventure of Dai looks makes me think I should reconsider looking into my backlog and picking up Dragon Quest again. There’s just so many to choose from in my ever-growing backlog…
One interesting thing I learned about The Adventure of Dai is that the original manga actually ran from 1989 to 1996 and that the current anime is actually the second adaptation of this manga! I just thought it was worth pointing out because it’s very cool to see a brand-new game get made for something much older than I expected!
