News: PC gamers now have the opportunity to check out the latest entry in the Dragon Quest Monsters series.

Square Enix has announced that the latest entry in the popular role-play game series Dragon Quest Monsters: The Dark Prince is now available on PC via Steam. The PC version will include all previously released downloadable content from the Nintendo Switch Digital Deluxe Edition, in addition to the game’s main story quests. This will allow players to discover new monster combinations and immersive themselves in strategic battles.

Dragon Quest Monsters: The Dark Prince features Psaro, the Demon Prince, whose curse prevents him from harming monsters. As a result, he must become a Monster Wrangler, recruiting, and fighting alongside monsters throughout the various environments of the fantastical world of Nadiria. Over the course of this adventure, the seasons and landscape will regularly cycle through Spring, Summer, Fall, and Winter, which will open up new areas and allow players to encounter different monsters specific to that season.

One of the most powerful tools in the player arsenal is the newly evolved synthesis system which allows players to create completely new monsters by combining those already on their roster. Players can experiment and eventually unlock over 500 monsters, including franchise favorites, dark lords, and completely new creatures. Furthermore, Quickfire Contest, an automatic speed match, will allow players to compete in a single-player challenge mode in 30 consecutive matches.

Dragon Quest Monsters: The Dark Prince for PC features all previously launched DLC from the Nintendo Switch Digital Deluxe Edition at no additional charge, including:

The Mole Hole: In this special dungeon, scout monsters that have already been befriended once before. The Mole Hole provides ample opportunity to reunite easily with monsters that only appear during specific seasons or weather conditions, and even those that can only otherwise be obtained via synthesis.

Coach Joe's Dungeon Gym: Explore the randomly generated dungeons to battle legions of powerful monsters.

Treasure Trunks: A mysterious treasure chest containing exciting rewards that can be opened once every hour allowing players to get their hands on some helpful items.

Dragon Quest Monsters: The Dark Prince is available for PC and Nintendo Switch. Check out the trailer and then tell us what you think. Will you be playing this game on PC?
