During an announcement of its Gamescom line-up, Square Enix dropped a massive bomb for fans of JRPGs - Dragon Quest IV: Chapters of the Chosen will be released on mobiles and tablets in the West.

It's a port of the Nintendo DS remake, and includes the additional and changed content from that version, such as the extra story chapter. We're also hearing that it features quick saves, and multiple combat speed options, which will be a blessing for adventurers on the go.

If you're yet to play a Dragon Quest, then this could well be a great place to start. The plot follows multiple characters from very different walks of life, as their stories all begin to weave into one another's, and this adventure contains all the classic elements the series has become known for.

We don't know exactly when Dragon Quest IV: Chapters of the Chosen will be released, but when it does it'll come to both iOS and Android devices.

Have you played any of the previous Dragon Quests? Should other AppSpies be getting excited for this re-release? Let us know, in the comments.

Hugs and kisses to Siliconera.
