New Dragon Quest mobile RPG opens beta applications for 25,000 players

Square Enix unveiled Dragon Quest RPG: The Cursed Tree and the Chosen Isle on November 10, with an iOS and Android release planned for 2027. It combines classic turn-based battles with exploration, special attacks and resources you bring home to develop your base.

Applications for its closed beta are open until November 23 at 14:59 UTC. Testing is scheduled for December 8–15, with 25,000 places available. Square Enix will use a lottery if applications exceed that number.

The listed minimum is an iPhone 11 with iOS 15 and 4 GB RAM. On Android, it requires Android 9, a 64-bit device, Snapdragon 855 or better and 6 GB RAM.

Your beta save will be cleared before the full release, and purchases of paid virtual currency will be disabled during testing. Square Enix plans an international launch with some regional exclusions.

Applicants must be at least 18. Selection results are due by email on December 4, so submitting the form is not a guarantee of access. Choose the operating system you will actually use: the invitation is tied to that selection. Check the eligible territories in the official application process before signing up.
