Dragalia Lost has been a rather successful little endeavour for Nintendo and developer Cygames; we praised it for being a "remarkably well-executed ARPG" in our review earlier this month, and the game managed to generate $16 million in its first two weeks on sale, outperforming Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp.
So what's on the horizon for this new Nintendo-owned IP? Well, the game's director Hiroki Matsuura has shared a new blog post to outline just some of the things planned for the game over the coming months. These plans include the new 'Winds of Hope' summon showcase and the new 'A Wish to the Winds' facility event - both of which actually kicked off yesterday - currency and weapon updates, and the latest information about upcoming quests and chapter seven of the main story coming later this year.
"On November 14th (Wednesday) at 23:00 (PT), the summon showcase Winds of Hope, as well as the facility event, A Wish to the Winds, will start. The summon showcase will introduce wind-element adventurers, dragons, and wyrmprints; some of those wyrmprints will be of particular use in the upcoming facility event.
Building the Wind Shrine, this event's special facility, will increase the damage you deal to enemies within quests related to this event, so leveling it up will prove very helpful. Additionally, the Extra Quests this time around have been updated to allow for co-op play."
The blog goes into a fair amount of detail on the other changes to come, so we'd urge you to give it a read, but highlights include the mention of "increasing the amount of mana, crystals, and eldwater you can get from Daily Endeavors and log-in bonuses" to prevent players from getting stuck, and a nod to the aforementioned chapter seven:
"We also plan on delivering chapter seven of the main story at the end of this year. Phares, the second heir, appears in this new chapter, and some light is shed upon a certain character's backstory... I hope you're all looking forward to it!"
If it's available in your region, have you been getting stuck into Dragalia Lost? Would you like to see Nintendo embrace smartphone games in new ways going forward? Let us know with a comment.

Release in Europe???? Maybe????
Release date for Europe is wrong on the info
Id love to give this a shot, but not out in Aus yet.
Whats the hold up??
Release in brazil would be quite a good plan. =/
I have it, played through the first tutorial and I haven't taken the time to download the rest of the game
@Bliquid this did come to mind. I’ve been playing the US version and it’s ok, although I do find the jailbait anime characters a little off-putting.
Still wondering if the two companies are going to make console game from the series on the Switch.
Europe? Come on Nintendo just release it. They forgot to click the SEND button for europe i think lol.
Phew, for a second I thought one of the plans was to release it in europe! This was way too close!
I'm not really interested in playing what seems like a rather large, engrossing game on my phone. I'd rather something like this on Switch (although tweak it so it's not free-to-play and full of microtransactions). Maybe when the game is actually "finished" a re-release for Switch that is a complete all-in-one edition will be released.
being playing this somewhat casually it's fun overall. They've at least been very vocal with the community in providing information which is better than some gacha games I've played recently.
It’s nice that are listening to feedbacks and improving the game (especially bow and lance users). Even nicer they have generous compensations each time.
My only unlikely wish is that they don’t have wyrmprints in the same summoning pool as adventures and dragons, or the very least not have a 5* wyrmprint break your summoning chain.
Hold off for updates and release to other countries then maybe give the updates a couple weeks later. I’d love to give this game a shot.
I'm enjoying this game immensely. Getting the best characters is pretty frustrating but the art, music, and hectic gameplay keeps me hooked on it. I love how every mission takes only 2-3 minutes to complete. The developers really listen to the players.
How about a release date for the rest of the World!?
@deucezulu22 I think this could be a great IP for the Switch.
@TOMAWOLF I agree.
