Online gaming publication Siliconera has posted some fresh information from last nights Dragon Quest X conference. Below is pretty much all you need to know so far regarding the highly anticipated title that’s due out on Wii next year and Wii U sometime shortly after. Let’s just hope there’s no subscription model for the game here in the West.

Whilst you can play Dragon Quest X alone without the help of other online players, you will still need to have a constant internet connection. When you start the game, the first few hours can be played offline but to play through all of the game you will require an internet connection.

Dragon Quest X will be available on Wii next year and Wii U sometime after.

Awesome video and info on this game

On wii you say? That means online cheat detection around the clock, that also means save editors will be treated like gold! I'm back in business baby!
Just why exactly does it need constant internet though? don't tell me its a pay 2 play, on wii of all things!

From what I can gather its going to be MMO style, hence the internet connection required. No word yet as to whether it will have any kind of subscription service in place, will update as soon as I find out any more info.
