Smartphone game Dragalia Lost is scheduled for a release in the UK, Canada, and Australia, Nintendo has confirmed.
Dragalia Lost initially launched on 27th September 2018, but was restricted to just the US, Japan, Macau, Taiwan, and Hong Kong. Fans from other regions have been hoping for a release for some time, so we're glad to see that it's finally about to reach more players, although no specific release date has been set just yet. The news was revealed by Nintendo president Shuntaro Furukawa today, who mentioned that the game will release in "English-speaking countries such as" those mentioned above.
It certainly makes sense for Nintendo and its development partner Cygames to launch the game in more territories; player spending was revealed to have surpassed $50 million by December of last year. If you live in one of the countries mentioned above and are wondering what it's all about, we'd encourage you to read our full review; we described it as a "remarkably well-executed ARPG for mobile devices", saying that its "surprisingly in-depth lore, easy to pick up gameplay and oodles of customisation options make this a game that’s easy to sink hours into".
Nintendo also shared the news of an upcoming mobile game called Dr. Mario World, as well as a delay for Mario Kart Tour.
Have you been hoping to see Dragalia Lost be released in your country? Will you give it a go when it arrives? Tell us below.

Will be nice if they gave a launch date! Hopefully this will release before March 2019 before Ninty's fiscal year end.
"It's been 3,000 years" and 2 months*
I'm annoyed with Nintendo considering Europe as the 3rd world, but still curious about this game. I'm torn...
I didn't even know (or care) that it wasn't out here yet.
Still no Germany? kkthxbye
I don't get why Nintendo won't bring these to the Switch as well.
It's not as if exclusivity means anything in the mobile world, and the fans would appreciate high quality digital games direct from Nintendo themselves (though indies may resent it).
No, it'll have been 3000 years when they release it in Belarus.
Dragalia is a blast and I'm enjoying the new event. It's fun even if you spend no money on it.
No way in hell I'm playing another Nintendo gacha (or gacha in general) after FEH but cool for those that want this (and I'm sure Nintendo will be happy for the boosted revenue from gambling)
I still dont get why we had to wait so long?
Cool for UK but European Union countries need some love too...
Oh finally, I suppose we'll see it release worldwide NEVER
It's like they just realised they forgot to release the game pretty much everywhere in the world and now they are like "Hey... We did not forget. We're just releasing it in batches instead of everywhere all at once!"
Luckily I have an US iTunes account. Because at this rate it'll be 2021 before we get it in the Netherlands..
How the game is available in Macau but not in Portugal or Brazil?
This don't make sense.
-_-
Protip: Languages and translation work, especially on something like an ARPG, take a LOT of time and testing.
Europe is not just "England".
Particularly when fully voiced, too.
It took so ridiculously long to release it in Canada, a country right freaking next to the US, that I don't care anymore
How much would I have missed if I get in now? SMH
@sanderev right!? Hurry tf up already... ( not gonne download some other region APK)
I don't understand why people really don't care about Europe
Even when we are talking about Europe, UK is the only country we talk about, even if they left the European Union. Sometimes I just feel like people outside the continent just forget that there's a bunch of other countries out here
Whatever, I don't really care about the game being localized, even if I can play it in English it would be cool
I'll give it a try when it will be available in Italy.
It's not an RPG in the slightest it's a game where you just mindlessly tap your screen. Tap to walk here. Tap to fight. Tappy tap tap tappety. Oh and the game downloads bit by bit. Tap 80 times then wait for next level to download. Fair play to Nintendo for making a ton of cash out of it but as I'm a gamer not a shareholder I couldn't care less. Smartphone touchscreens are no substitute for a controller. The only smartphone game that has impressed me so far is Pokemon Go because it really is a game that was made for a smartphone with a touchscreen. It embraces the medium rather than awkwardly adapting to it. I've downloaded so many games to my phones over the years and it's the only one I haven't deleted.
glad to see nintendo isn't poisoning me and my bros in spain with that gacha nonsense
I know the reason Nintendo didn't release this in Canada was because of our country's language laws, everything released here has to be bilingual English and French. I wonder if they've added French in to appease Quebec or if they're just going ahead with English-only?
Yeahno. I've stopped caring about this game. Should have released it at the same time as everyone else. Now I have Dragon Marked for Death and Wargroove to keep me happy till April.
And the rest of Europe when?
