With all the attention (and positive reviews) being lavished on the just-launched Star Wars: The Old Republic, it might be easy to overlook another new addition to the world of massively multiplayer online role-playing games. Set to be released in Japan some time in 2012, Dragon Quest X will place online adventurers — who can play as a member of one of six races — in a mythical world called Astoltia. Not much else is known about the game, though a lucky few were invited to join beta trials a few weeks ago. And to be perfectly honest, there has been no official word as to whether developer-publisher Square Enix is even planning to offer the game in North America or Europe. But we remain hopeful. The light and whimsical tone of previous Dragon Age titles might make DQX a nice alternative to the sometimes tedious slash-and-grind experience that can discourage newcomers to World of Warcraft.
