Players can enjoy the following celebratory content in the game:

  • Unleash Incredible Power: Players will have the chance to obtain equipment for Dai and Popp, granting them access to new Hyper special moves that allow them to temporarily enter a heightened state. While powered up, they will no longer be able to change characters, but instead will be able to unleash a powerful finishing special move by tapping the corresponding button a second time. These can be obtained in both the Sword of Bonds and Bond Equipment Limited Treasure Hunt available from 27 September at 11:00 pm PDT and 1 October at 11:00 pm PDT, until 10 October at 10:59 pm PDT, respectively.
  • Enter the Hero’s Hall: In the new limited-time event The Hero’s Hall, available until October 10th at 10:59 pm PDT, players can fight through its sacred halls and strengthen themselves. Playing through the event will grant access to a powerful new style for Dai, Dai (Luminary Leader Outfit), as well as greatly increased experience gains for this new style.
  • Receive Welcome Gift and Rewards: A “Welcome Gift” of 6,000 Blue Gems is being distributed to all new players, which can be claimed within 30 days of logging into the game. In addition to this, all new players will be able to acquire two powerful special moves; Popp’s Kafrizz, and Crocodine’s Beast King Redemption Blast, as well as their related four star weapons, to help strengthen their team.
  • Limited-Time four star Weapon Guaranteed Treasure Hunt: All players will have access to a special one-time Treasure Hunt that is guaranteed to give a powerful four star weapon at the cost of 300 Red Gems. This Treasure Hunt will only be available for the first 72 hours after downloading the game for the first time and logging into the game during this campaign.

Additionally, a video archive of the DRAGON QUEST The Adventure of Dai game project special program from TGS2022 is now available to watch. 


Finally, all players will be able to participate in a first anniversary Community Special Move Selection campaign through the game’s official Twitter. The campaign features a variety of popular special moves that were previously made available via in-game events and treasure hunts. Retweeting related posts will count as a vote towards the corresponding special move, and the most highly voted special move, as well as its related four star weapon, will be gifted to all players, along with one piece each of Weapon Evolution Ore and Armour Evolution Ore to strengthen their equipment.
