Square Enix has kicked off the Dragon Quest X beta in Japan today ahead of an anticipated released later this year. The publisher has been plucking testers for the MMORPG-like title for a while, with potential testers notified last month.

DQX will launch on Wii and Wii U, with support for certain features on 3DS. Thanks, Andriasang.

Square Enix will select the first beta testers for Dragon Quest X by next week. The first batch of testers will be selected on January 31. If you don’t get accepted – if you live in Japan anyways – you can still make it into further rounds. Applications for the online RPG began back in November of last year, and are still being accepted now.

Dragon Quest X has no date, but will launch on Wii and Wii U with additional support for 3DS. Thanks, Andriasang.

Shonen Jump has published first story details for Dragon Quest X. The Wii MMO begins in the small village of Etene, with the story set on two siblings who lost their parents while young.

Do you ache to see more of Dragon Quest X? Do the very fibers of your being vibrate with longing for Square Enix’s next slime-soaked opus? Well, we’re sorry. This is going to be a really uncomfortable wait for you. But hey, here’s something to sort of ease the pain: ten minutes of gameplay footage from the recent press conference.
